HORIZONTAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES (continued)
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.
Note: Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any
run with more than 8 ft. of vertical rise. See Pages
13 and 14.

) horizontal vent run
is needed, then 4 feet minimum of (V) vertical vent
will be required.
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.
