(2.) In accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code
# 18 ˝ (46 cm) above roof surface
+ Permitted only if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the floor.
*
For clearances not specified in ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, clearances shall be in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier and the
manufacturer's installation instructions
Notes:
1. The vent for this appliance shall not terminate
a. Over public walkways; or
b. Near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other areas where condensate or vapor could create a nusaince or hazard or property damage; or
c. Where condensate vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
2. When locating vent terminations, consideration must be given to prevailing winds, location, and other conditions which may cause recirculation of the combustion products of adjacent vents.
Recirculation can cause poor combustion, inlet condensate problems, and accelerated corrosion of the heat exchangers.
3. Avoid venting under a deck or large overhang. Recirculation could occur and cause performance or system problems.
