Basement Kitchen Vent

[John Baxter]

Hello,

I am planning to build a full size kitchen with vent out in my partially finished basement. Planning to use "Outside back exhaust" and I am having hard time finding code requirement on minimum height from ground level for the outside vent.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

May not be a minimum??

How far will you be from your property line and neighbor's house?

There are a few more well versed people on the site, give them a day or two to respond.

In the mean time look at M 1506.3, may be you r answer, depending on what residential code your city has adopted::

Commercial kitchen is 10 ft above grade
residential standard common sense we use is 12 inches above your average snow depth so our average is 6" so 18" is the minimum height above grade.

10 feet from property line and 20 feet from neighbor's house.
