How far should a dryer vent terminate from a service regulator vent?

The correct distance for a dryer vent to terminate from a service regulator vent is 3 feet. This requirement is important because it helps to prevent any potential backdraft or interference caused by the exhaust from the dryer, which could impact the performance and safety of the gas service regulator. Keeping this distance ensures that there is a clear airspace that allows for the safe venting of gases, thereby reducing the risk of gas leaks or other hazardous conditions.

Adhering to this regulation is part of standard safety practices in gas installations and helps maintain a well-functioning and safe environment for gas appliances. Distancing the dryer vent appropriately from the service regulator vent is essential in complying with building codes and ensuring the efficient operation of both systems.
