IMPORTANT
The air intake system must terminate so that proper
clearances are maintained as cited in local codes or the
latest edition of the "Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code" CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada), or the "National Fuel
Gas Code" ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) (U.S.A.). See page 9.
WARNING
Air intake must be at least 12 in. (300 mm) above the
anticipated snow level (consult your local building
authorities or local weather office).
Locate vent termination in such a way that it cannot be
blocked by snow.
