Note
For cascade applications, the required
horizontal clearance between
terminations is 12” for both sidewall
and vertical venting installations.

Non-Concentric Sidewall Venting: Air is drawn
from a different location that is at least 12 in (300
mm) away from the exhaust termination. The
exhaust termination can be located either on the
sidewall or roof. Try to minimize the length of the
intake air pipe when installing the vent.
*12” (300 mm) above the highest anticipated snow
level, or as required by local codes, whichever is
