B. Not less than 4 feet (1.2 m) below, 4 feet (1.2 m) horizontally from or
1 foot (3.1 m) above any gravity air inlet (door, window, etc.) which
flue gases could reenter the dwelling.
C. Not less than 2 feet (.6 m) from combustible materials such as an
adjacent buildings, fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof
overhang, plants and shrubs, etc. and not less than 7 feet (2.1 m)
above grade when located adjacent to the public sidewalks (access).
The final termination of the exhaust system must be configured so that
flue gases do not jeopardize the safety of people passing by, overheat
combustible portions of nearby structures or enter the dwelling.
D. Not less than 3 feet (.92 m) below an eave (maximum overhang of 3
feet (.92 m) or any construction that projects more than 2" (51 mm)
from the plane of the wall.

E. The distance from the bottom of termination to grade is 12" (305 mm)
minimum. This is conditional upon plants and nature of grade surface: Be
careful to choose a location for the vent termination which does not expose
people or shrubs to high heat from the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases
are not hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity
of the termination although they should be a minimum of 3 feet (.92 m)
away. The grade surface under the termination must not be a lawn.
F. Since sparks may escape from the exhaust pipe of any stove, use
caution when positioning the vent pipe. Refer to pipe manufacturer's
instructions when installing and terminating the exhaust. The vent pipe
should be horizontal and never run the pipe in a downward direction
(recommend a 1/4" [7 mm] rise per foot horizontal).
