Direct Vent Through Basement Wall

[danrclem]

If I exit my direct vent pipe through my basement wall I'm not going to have anywhere close to the 57" clearance to the ground. Can this pipe be turned up to get enough clearance?

I found this and it has a 36" snorkel. Now I have to find it for sale.

I’d keep reading the manual, this seems to be indicating min height to wall penetration from the basement floor, probably so you have enough room to connect the wall penetration.

There’s probably some additional guidance for minimum distance above grade, and min clearance for the triple wall pipe.

Yeh I think that's to the floor. Your distance from grade is probably something like 24" unless it is a walk way.

I hope you guys are right because the snorkels I've found are very expensive. I'll go back to the manual and see if I can find some more information. I might be better off going to the site of the pipe manufacturer and see what they say.

Thanks for putting me on the right track. I went to the Selkirk site, and it said that it should be at least 12" above grade.

That’s more in line with what I was expecting/have seen. Nice work, happy burning!
