An outside fresh air supply must be installed at least how many inches above finished grade level?

  1. 6 inches

  2. 8 inches

  3. 10 inches

  4. 12 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

Installing an outside fresh air supply too low to the ground can lead to potential dangers, including contamination from rain, snow or debris on the ground and also poses a risk of tampering or damage. Option A, B, and C are all too close to the ground to provide adequate protection and proper air flow. Option D at 12 inches ensures that the fresh air supply is high enough to avoid these potential hazards.
