Title: water heater power vent exhaust question/advice
Post by: contact148 on March 09, 2021, 11:34:17 AM
I have a natural draft tank its dying so I bought a power vent tank which I will install but I have a venting question I have very limited options for where the exhaust will have to go through the wall see pic

I planned on putting it either directly right of my furnace exhaust or to the left of my gas meter Now my gas meter is vented about 12 feet down the wall so I am clear of the meter venting. I made green marks on the brick for approx location i want to run it

can I do this? Ontario I don't want to fail inspection 
I don't know why pic is so big  click open in new tab to see the whole thing

Yes, they piped the regulator vent away so you're good to go.  The power vent exhaust just needs to be kept 12" from the furnace intake, assuming the water heater is under 101,000 BTU's.

Just make sure your furnace intake is an actual 12 inch from ground.
