• The bottom of the vent and air intake terminals must be at least 12” above the normal snow line. In no case should
they be less than 12” above grade level.
•	 The	bottom	of	the	vent	terminal	must	be	at	least	7	feet	above	a	public	walkway.	
•	 Do	not	install	the	vent	terminal	directly	over	windows	or	doors.
•	 The	bottom	of	the	vent	terminal	must	be	at	least	3	feet	above	any	forced	air	inlet	located	within	10	feet.
•	 A	clearance	of	at	least	4	feet	horizontally	must	be	maintained	between	the	vent	terminal	and	gas	meters,	electric	
meters, regulators, and relief equipment. Do not install vent terminal over this equipment.
•	 Do	not	locate	the	vent	terminal	under	decks	or	similar	structures.
•	 Top	of	vent	terminal	must	be	at	least	5	feet	below	eves,	soffits,	or	overhangs.	Maximum	depth	of	overhang	is	3	ft.	
•	 Vent	terminal	must	be	at	least	6	feet	from	an	inside	corner.
•	 Under	certain	conditions,	water	in	the	flue	gas	may	condense,	and	possibly	freeze,	on	objects	around	the	terminal	
including on the structure itself. If these objects are subject to damage by flue gas condensate, they should be
moved or protected.
• If possible, install the vent and air intake terminals on a wall away from the prevailing wind. Reliable operation of
this boiler cannot be guaranteed if the terminal is subjected to winds in excess of 40 mph.
