Horizontal Vent Terminal Locations
(see appliance manual for allowable vertical terminal locations)
Vent Termination
• The vent terminal must be located on a side wall or
through the roof. Where possible, venting through the
roof is preferable to sidewall venting to avoid products
of combustion from accumulating in outdoor spaces.
• Typically, outdoor spaces are not totally enclosed by sol-
id continuous walls. When sidewall venting is used, the
vent terminal will need to be located to avoid products
of combustion from accumulating within the outdoor
space or from entering the interior space through doors
and windows. See clearances listed below with respect to
openings to interior spaces.
• When a sidewall vent terminal terminates below an
overhead cover (either permanent or temporary cover)
at least 30% of the total perimeter wall area surrounding
the outdoor space must be openings.

• This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when
an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent terminal
from any direction.
• The minimum clearances from this terminal that must
be maintained are shown in the figure below. Any reduc-
tion in these clearances could result in a disruption of
the airflow or a safety hazard. Local codes or regulations
may require greater clearances.
• The vent terminal must not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
• The vent terminal should be positioned where it will
not be covered by snowdrifts.
• Sidewall vent terminations within 7' of grade or where
easily accessible require a terminal guard such as the
Valor 658TG or 845TG.
