Example: If 20 feet of (H)
horizontal vent run is needed,
then 4 feet minimum of (V)
vertical vent will be required.
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.

Note: See Figure 37 showing wall thickness range
when using SV4.5HT-2 termination kit.
Only the square termination (SV4.5HT-2) may be used.
HORIZONTAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in place of one 90 degree
elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the venting figures for
90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree elbows are used.
Note: It is very important that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained
in a straight (no dips) and recommended to be in a slightly elevated
plane, in a direction away from the fireplace of
1/4" rise per foot (20
mm per meter) which is ideal, though rise per foot run ratios that are
smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level.
See
Table 8
as an aid in venting component selection
for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.
Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must
be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible floor or ceiling.
SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be
used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
Note: Secure Vent components (rigid vent pipe and terminal) are
shown in the figures; Secure Flex components (flexible vent pipe and
terminal) may also be used.

Under no circumstances, may separate sections of
