Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and
lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in
the closet. One upper vent opening with a
minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm
2
) must be
installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One
lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24
sq. in. (155 cm
2
) must be installed no more than
one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the
door or cut down the door at the top and bottom
to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent
ventilation openings are also acceptable.
• There should be at least a little space around the
appliance (or any other appliance) to eliminate
the transfer of vibration from one appliance to
another. If there is enough vibration, it could
cause appliances to make noise or come into
contact, causing paint damage and further
increasing noise.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed
in the same closet as an appliance.
