    Default Direct vent under a window....

    I know this was addressed before, but I just thought I would post this with a picture.

    Our County inspectors have been "OK-ing" install like the following.

    I flagged it with a comment that the county OK'ed it...

    This looks so wrong to me...I would want to make the window non-functioning to be safe...but the county has been saying OK...

    The install instructions say 12" (1 foot) is all that is required below a window that is operable, this looks to be right on that 12" line (Its two floors up so I couldn't easily measure it)

    Well, the County is correct in OK'ing it if it's installed per spec.

    You may not like it, but you could always contact the manufacturer and clarify their engineering.

    Bob,

    Its customary to list where you are located geographically. It helps those of us in providing answers based on state rules/legislation, et ceteras ..

    Thanks

    Sorry... Montgomery County Maryland....

    We also used to have lots of flueless fireplaces with burners deliberately set to be yellow & sooty so they looked nice while they dumped lots of water vapor and combustion byproducts into your home...
