2012 codes - I'm not sure if this is an IMC or IFGC issue (or maybe both?). What section specifies distance from roof edge/parapets or property lines for boiler flues?

From the `12 IMC, Section 804:
Here's a Link to the IMC:

My Snippet Tool could only capture the Code Section in this size.

cballinger,
IMO, ...Yes, Section 501.3.1 [ from the `12 IMC ] DOES apply.
Also, ...this particular code section requires a minimum of 30
feet distance from a property line.
REASON: There are flammable vapors being discharged to the
atmosphere when \ if the boiler does not ignite during it's
normal cycle, and the re-attempt to ignite will purge all of
the gases from the ignition chamber.
