Generated explanation

The illustration shows a house elevation with prohibited oil-furnace sidewall vent locations marked by red crossed circles. The marked locations are beneath a soffit, below a window, near a regulator, close to grade, and above a walkway with insufficient clearance. Leader lines give the required separations from these features, including doors, windows, and air supply intakes. Additional notes address separation from oil fill or vent pipes and inside wall corners, and prohibit discharge below confined porches or decks.
