CSA Z240.4.
Horizontal Vent Termination Clearances
The horizontal vent termination must have
a minimum of 3" (76 mm) clearance to any
overhead combustible projection of 2 1/2" (64
mm) or less. See Figure 4. For projections

fi rebox?
13. M ay the shut-off valve be concealed?
14. Rooms where the installation is not
