HORIZONTAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES (continued)
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.
An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of vertical
rise except where an elbow is the only verti-
cal component in the system. See Figure 39.
