area where condensate or vapor could create a
nuisance or hazard or cause property damage; or

Important considerations for locating vent
termination under a soffit (ventilated or unventilated
or eave vent; or to a deck or porch)

Do not install vent termination under a soffit vent
such that exhaust can enter the soffit vent

Install vent termination such that exhaust and
rising moisture will not collect under
eaves. Discoloration to the exterior of the
building could occur if installed too close.

Do not install the vent termination too close
under the soffit where it could present
recirculation of exhaust gases back into the
combustion air intake part of the termination.
