ii. If possible, locate vent and combustion
air terminals on the same wall to prevent
nuisance shutdowns. If not, boiler may
be installed with roof vent terminal and
sidewall combustion air terminal.
iii. When installed on the same wall, locate
vent terminal at same height or higher than
combustion air terminal.
iv. When using tee terminals, do not locate vent
terminal directly above air intake as dripping
condensate may freeze on and block intake.
c. Locate bottom of vent and combustion air
terminals at least 12 in. (300 mm) [18 in.
(460 mm) in Canada] above the normal snow line
and at least 12 in. (300 mm) above grade level.
d. Locate vent and combustion air terminals at
least 12 in. (300 mm) from any door, window, or
gravity inlet into the building.
e. Do not install vent terminal directly above
windows or doors.
f. Locate bottom of vent terminal at least 3 ft. (900
mm) above any forced air inlet located within 10
ft. (3.0 m).
g. If window and/or air inlet is within 4 ft. (1.2 m)
of an inside corner, maintain at least 6 ft. (1.8 m)
spacing between terminal and adjoining wall of
inside corner.
h. Locate bottom of vent terminal at least 7 ft.
(2.1 m) above a public walkway.
i. Maintain minimum clearance of at least 4 ft.
(1.2 m) [3 ft. (900 mm)in Canada] horizontally
between vent terminal and gas meters, electric
meters, regulators, and relief equipment. Do
not install vent terminal above or below this
equipment.
j. Do not locate the vent terminal under decks or
similar structures.
k. Top terminal must be at least 24 in. (609.6 mm)
below ventilated eves, soffits and other
overhangs. In no case may the overhang
exceed 48 in. (1219.2 mm). Where permittted
by the authority having jurisdiction and local
experience, the terminal may be located closer
to unventilated soffits. The minimum vertical
separation depends upon the depth of the soffit.
See Figure 4 for details.
l. Maintain minimum 12 in. (300 mm) horizontal
spacing between vent terminal and a building
corner.
m. Under certain conditions, water in the flue gas
may condense, and possibly freeze, on objects
around the terminal including on the structure
itself. If these objects are subject to damage by
flue gas condensate, they should be moved or
protected.
