Question:
I could not find this in your Q&A section.
How much distance should be maintained between the exterior sidewall direct vent of a gas fireplace and the nearest operable window?
(I have heard codes restrict this to reduce the amount of flue gases recirculated into the house thru an open window.)
Answer:
The diagram that I have seen most calls for the following:
12" in the US and Canada from the vent to the open part of the window or door. This should be detailed in the owners manual.
