Wait a minute and I'll get back to you........[laughing]


Ok, soffit clearances are figured on a horizontal termination. Vertical terminations, such as this one, are intended to vent through the roof. If it doesn't vent through the main roof, then the sidewall clearances would apply, which I'm sure this certainly does not.

They do get extra points for creativity. I mean, they were obviously concerned with people on the deck getting burned. Not so concerned about CO poisoning or recirculation of soot and exhaust gases back into the home. BTW, I've seen an entire attic fuzzy with mold from venting too close to an unventilated soffit.

The mfrs. listed instrutions will have your clearances.
