Note:
• An elbow is acceptable as 1 ft. of vertical rise.
• An elbow may NOT be attached directly to the vent collar.
• Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any run with more than
8 ft. of vertical rise (see Pages 13 and 14).
• See Table 8 on Page 22 as an aid in venting component
selection for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.

Square termination (SV4.5HT-2) shown.
This table shows a 1 (V) to 5 (H) ratio. For every 1 foot of (V)
vertical, 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.
See Table 8 on Page 22 as an aid in venting component
selection for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.
Note: Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any run with more
than 8 ft. of vertical rise. See Pages 13 and 14.
