4. If installing both an intake air and vent termination in a Direct
Vent configuration through a sidewall there must be a minimum
of 24 inches (61 cm) separation, measured on vertical center
line, between the intake air and vent terminations, see
Note: In colder climates this separation should be

terminations must be installed at the same elevation measured
on horizontal center line - see
6. When the intake air and/or vent piping from multiple water
heaters will terminate at the same location through a sidewall,
the vent terminations can be grouped together in close proximity
- 0 inches/touching. The intake air terminations can also be
grouped together in close proximity - 0 inches/touching.
• However, the distance between the closest vent and

increased to at least 48 inches (122 cm) between
the intake air and vent termination or any other
appliance vent that discharges moisture-laden
air such as clothes dryers. This will reduce
possibility of frost over from side winds blowing
exhaust vapors to the intake air termination and is
recommended for Canadian installations.
