Good Afternoon,
Hopefully this is in the correct section, but I am trying to figure out the vent termination height for my atmospheric gas water heater. I've read the Fuel Gas Code and understand it depends on the size of the vent cap and the distance between a vertical wall or similar obstruction. My question is, does a portion of the roof count as similar obstruction? I've attached a photo of the house where the x marks where I want the vent to roughly come up (straight up from the water heater) and the black circle is the area where I'm not sure counts as obstruction or not. Thanks in advance for your help.
