Outdoor Gas Water Heater

[rbwillis]

I am considering relocating a gas water heater from an indoor closet to a pad on the side of the house and enclosing it in a galvanized shed. My question is do I need to extend the vent pipe above my roof line or is 12" above the enclosure, but below the surrounding roof edge sufficient? Thank you, Randy

For a roof pitched below 6" in 12" the vent must extend 12" above the roof of the dwelling or any obstruction such as a wall that is within eight feet.

don't forget to insulate the enclosure.
