** A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway that is
located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.
*** Permitted only if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of
two sides beneath the floor.
Maximum Vent Length
1. Determine the number of 90 degree elbows in the vent system (Two 45 degree
elbows count as one 90 degree elbow).
2. Refer to below table to find the maximum vent length based on the number of
elbows
Example: If you have one elbow, then your maximum vent length is 35ft (10.7m)
]
Vertical Terminations
The air intake requires a return bend or tow 90º elbows to prevent entry of rain.
The vent termination and air intake must be in the same pressure zone.
