Question To close for comfort
I know if the gas vent is closer than 8' to the wall, the vent must terminate at least 2' above the roof edge. With the window being as close as it is, does it change what the hight should be?

Hi to all,

That vent should be 2 feet higher than the eaves of the higher roof edge.

Regards

Gerry
