Neal Lewis Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Does anyone know what the minimum distance is above grade for an oil tank vent pipe? I'm in the Northeast. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm not sure that there is a requirement. Above the highest anticipated snow line seems appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 M2203.5 Vent termination. ... and shall be located sufficiently above the ground to avoid being obstructed by snow and ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Neal; M2203.5 Vent termination. Vent piping shall terminate outside of buildings at a point not less that 2 feet, measured vertically or horizontally, from any building opening. Outer ends of vent pipe shall terminate in a weather-proof cap or fitting having an unobstructed area at least equal to the cross-sectional area of the vent pipe and shall be located sufficiently above ground to avoid being obstructed by snow & ice. Send me your fax # & I'll fax you the page. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
