The vent must be installed observing local regulations in
addition to National Codes, CAN/CSA-B149.1 or 2 (for
installations in Canada) or ANSI-Z223.1 or NFPA 54 (for
installations in the U.S.A.).
The distance between two adjacent vertical vent
terminations for all boiler sizes is 1 ft. (0.3 m) (center to
center).
See table 9. for the following two conditions:
For sloped roof applications with distance b greater than

vent termination in such a way that it cannot be
blocked by snow.
A vent used in a special venting system with positive vent
pressure and passing through a roof shall extend at least
18 in. (450 mm) above the highest point where it passes
through the roof and any other obstruction within a
horizontal distance of 18 in. (450 mm).
