This table shows a 1 (V) to 5 (H) ratio. For every 1 foot of (V) verti-
cal, you are allowed 5 feet of (H) horizontal run, up to a maximum
horizontal run of 20 feet.
Example: If 20 feet of (H) horizontal vent run is needed, then 4
feet minimum of (V) vertical vent will be required.
Note: Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with
more than 8 ft. of vertical rise. See Pages 13 and 14.
Example: If 20 feet of (H) horizontal vent run is needed, then 4 feet minimum
of (V) vertical vent will be required.
An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of vertical rise.
Note:
• An elbow may NOT be attached directly to the vent collar.
• Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with more than 8 ft.
of vertical rise. See Pages 13 and 14.
