Summary Of Horizontal Venting Options - Burnham CHG CHG225 Installation & Operation Manual

• 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.
