Re: WH vent termination from headwall
We all have remembered the 3-2-10 rule for chimneys:
3' high above the roof minimum and 2' high above any part of any structure within 10'.

I just thought of this new rule for vents which I will call the 8-2-10 rule:
8' from any vertical obstruction or 2' higher than the obstruction and any part of the structure within 10'.

~~~~~~~~

For chimneys, the 3-2-10 rule - 3' high minimum and 2' higher than anything within 10'.

For vents, the 8-2-10 rule - 8' from or 2' higher than anything within 10'.

What do you guys think?

The 8-2-10 rule for vents.
