Multiple Sidewall Terminations
An exhaust termination must be at least 
1 ft (305mm) away from another exhaust 
termination. An exhaust termination must 
also be at least 2 ft (610 mm) away from 
an inside corner. (If the adjacent wall is less 
than 2 ft (610 mm) of length, the minimum 
required distance away from the inside 
corner will be equal to the length of that 
adjacent wall.)
Multiple DV Sidewall Terminations
A direct vent (DV) termination must be 
at least 1 ft (305 mm) away from other 
direct vent terminations.
A direct vent termination must also be at 
least 2 ft (610 mm) away from an inside 
corner. (If the adjacent wall is less than 
2 ft (610 mm) of length, the minimum 
required distance away from the inside 
corner will be equal to the length of that 
adjacent wall.)

For direct vent sidewall 
terminations that use two 
separate penetrations for 
the intake and exhaust, 
keep the termination 
clearances shown in the 
diagrams on the right. 
Improper installation can result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. Follow all local 
and national codes in regards to proper termination clearances. In the absence of such 
codes, the clearances below can be used as guidelines. Local codes supersede these 
guidelines.
