1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace,
narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a concentration
of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc.
2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or
guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe
be installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent
the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing
a nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically.
4. Vent terminal cannot be:
● less than 4 feet (1.2 m) below
● less than 4 feet (1.2 m) horizontally from, and
● less than 1 foot (305 mm) above doors, window openings, or gravity/ventilation air inlet into building
5. Distance from bottom termination and grade –12” (305 mm) minimum. This is conditional upon the plants and
nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity
of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance from bottom of termination and public walkways is
7 feet (2.1 m) minimum.
6. Distance to combustible materials is 2 feet (610 mm). This includes adjacent buildings, fences, protruding parts
of the structure, roof overhang, plants, shrubs, etc.
7. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior of
the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond Sherwood Industries Ltd’s. control, we grant no guarantee
against such incidents.
