Special horizontal venting requirements
• Ensure that distances from the vent terminal to adjacent public
walkways, buildings, and openable windows and building
openings are consistent with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes, National Gas
Safety Code (Installation & Use) Regulations (latest revision), or
governing codes.
• In areas accessible to the public, the vent terminal must be at
least 7' (2.1 m) above ground level to prevent burns from the hot
terminal surface.
• The vent terminal and air intake locations must be at sufficient
height above ground level to prevent blocking by expected
snowfall.
• Building materials must be protected from degradation by flue
gases.
• A minimum horizontal clearance of 4' (1.22 m) from electric
meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment must be
maintained.
• Maximum equivalent length of vent pipe is 100' (30 m).
Minimum equivalent length of vent pipe is 10' (3 m). See power
venter installation manual for equivalent lengths of fittings.
• Vent box pressure must be –0.01" wc (–2.5 Pa). Set by adjusting
power venter and barometric damper, with all burners running
(see manufacturer's instructions included with power venter and
damper).

Notes:
* Install a tee after the first elbow from the humidifier as shown. Use the open end of
this tee for the location of the barometric damper.
** Required distance between air intake and vent hood is defined by governing codes.
Refer to power venter manual for clearance requirements relative to combustion air
openings.
