then 4 ft (straight section) minimum of
(V) vertical vent will be required.
This table shows a 1 (V) to 5 (H) ratio. For
every 1 ft of (V) vertical, you are allowed
5 ft of (H) horizontal run, up to a maximum
horizontal run of 20 ft.
NOTE: The vent system may have a
maximum of three (3) 90° elbows.
