CLEARANCES
These instructions should be used as a
guideline and do not supersede local codes
in any way. Install venting according to local
codes, these instructions, the current National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or
the current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 in
Canada. When planning your vent run refer
to the table in Figure 22 on Page 19.
Horizontal Vent Termination Clearances
The horizontal vent termination must have
a minimum of 3" (77 mm) clearance to any
overhead combustible projection of 2-1/2" (64
mm) or less (see Figure 3). For projections
exceeding 2-1/2" (64 mm), see Figure 3. For
additional vent location restrictions refer to
Figure 4 on Page 9.
