What is the required clearance that an heating/ac floor vent can be too a wall ?

Kevin,


There's no clearance code for heating registers installed next to walls. Just look above these for clearance to combustibles such as drapes/curtains that are above these and receptacles should be installed over these registers as the plugged-in cords can melt and become a fire safety issue.
