Gas line

question. Is there a code (Ontario canada)

That the gas line has to a minimum distance to a z vent from a pool heater?

Typically codes refer to distance to a gas regulator and a vent termination.

Z vent??? Is this the exhaust vent from the pool heater? There are minimum dimensions from which a vent can terminate from windows, doors, air inlets to a building, electric meters and gas meters and regulators and public walkways. But just a gas pipe where there are no mechanical or moving parts that can be overheated, As long as the vent is not blowing directly on the pipe, you should be just fine. But I don't know the Canadian Code official you need to be nice to. Can you show us a picture of the issue? Or are you being pro-active, as not to do something that will fail inspection. Eah?

Clearances from a vent to a gas line will be determined by b149.1, the appliance manual, the gas line manufacturer installation manual, and the zvent installation manual, which ever is strictest. Generally, BIP doesnt have much clearance requirements from a vent. B149.1 requires clearance from combustables for single wall venting, 6in is what i remember without looking. My bigger concern would be hot moist air blowing on gas line, especially if not coated. Also remember, 10ft clearance from a building opening for vent termination of pool exhausts.

Doesn't Canada require gas piping to be painted if outside?
