Please note: Exterior vent must not be any closer than local code allows
- which for most areas is 4 feet from any opening into your home.
This means - that a vent can not be closer than 4 feet from windows that can open, doors, forced air inlet, etc.
The vent also must be a minimum of 1 foot above grade.
