My gas furnace and hot water heater are enclosed in a room about 8'x8' in my basement. I want to move the combustion air vent (not the air intake vent) from its current location to an opposite wall so it will be far away from my workshop where I generate sawdust. The new location will put the vent within 2' of the furnace, whereas now it's about 5' away and behind the water heater.
The new location is on a wall in the kids playroom, so I'd like to put the vent near the ceiling instead of the floor. Are there any code rules about where this vent needs to be?
Thanks Michael
