RFSDV34 Freestanding Direct Vent Gas Stove Below Grade Installations When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level a snorkel vent kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. The 7” is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage.
