Hello,
Can anyone out there help me determine if there are additional requirements or constraints on the location of a permanent opening for combustion air in the IRC section G2407.6.2 (304.6.2)? My mechanical room is in a basement partially below grade, and I can run a horizontal duct out the top of the wall but the centerline of the vent will only be ~12" above grade. Not ideal, but would this break any codes for combustion air intake into a residential mechanical room with a gas hot water heater and furnace.
Thanks,
Bernard
