The terminal must be located (U.S. – See
• at least 3" and at most 12" out from the wall (see
• at least 12" above finished grade or the normally expected snow accumulation level, whichever is higher
• at least 4 feet below or horizontally from, or 1 foot above, any doors or windows or gravity air inlet to a building
• at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet
• at least 4 feet horizontally from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment
• at least 7 feet above grade adjacent to walkways or similar traffic areas
The terminal must be located (Canada – See
• at least 10 feet (3.3M) from any opening into a building
• at least 12" (.3M) above finished grade or the normally expected snow accumulation level, whichever is higher
• at least 4 feet (1.2M) horizontally from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment
• at least 7 feet (2.1M) above grade adjacent to walkways or similar traffic areas
Allow at least three feet (1M) vertical clearance over
vent termination when terminating under an overhang.
Avoid corners or alcoves where snow or wind could
have an effect. Exhaust may affect shrubbery and some
building materials. Keep shrubbery away from
termination. To prevent staining or deterioration, sealing
or shielding exposed surfaces may be required.
