see any problem with the flue height etc on this roof.

Noted this Bvent should be 1" to combustables as well right?

Other than it's not at least 2 ft higher than any portion of the building within 10 feet ?

Not counting the sloped roof, but referring to the wall nearby, right?

Each slope roof has a minimum height above it, I believe it starts at 1 foot.

Now, if that wall is within 8 feet, the gas vent needs to be 2 feet higher than the wall/roof at the wall.

Of course, they are also supposed to be vertical too (just not sure how far off vertical is allowed where it comes out above the roof).
