What is the required distance a vent must terminate from a window if the appliance-firing rate is 65 MBtu/h?

6 in.
10 in.
12 in.
36 in.

The correct answer is: 12 in.

The requirement for the distance a vent must terminate from a window is guided by safety regulations to ensure the proper dispersion of combustion gases and prevent them from re-entering the building through openings such as windows. For an appliance with a firing rate of 65 MBtu/h, the proper vent termination distance is set at 12 inches. This requirement takes into account factors such as the potential for gas to drift back into a window, which could pose a safety hazard. A termination point that is at least 12 inches from a window provides a sufficient buffer to mitigate any risks associated with gas re-entry into the living space. Additionally, this standard aligns with building codes and best practices for vent installation, ensuring that appliances operate safely and effectively.
