Clearance to compressor

[Darren Miller]

Does anyone have info on clearance of a direct vent termination to an exterior compressor?
Any info and/or paperwork is appreciated.

I wonder how anyone including the installer would know that Goodman recommends 36" clearance if it is not written anywhere?

Goofy.

the 36" recommendation is for maintenance access and air movement.
