within 8 feet (2.4 mm) of a vertical wall or similar
obstruction. Gas vent caps that are located 8' or
more from a portion of a building which extends
at an angle greater than 45 upward from the
horizontal may terminate in accordance with the
table in Figure 4 , provided that in no case shall
any discharge opening on the cap be less than 2'
(610 mm) horizontally from the roof surface
(National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54)
7.6.2) (CAN/CGA B149).

*Note: The framed depth - dimension "C"- from a framed wall, must always
be measured from a finished surface. If a wall covering such as drywall is to
be attached to the rear wall, then dimension "C" must be measured from the
drywall surface. It is important that this dimension be exact.
