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:
Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run
with more than 8 ft of vertical rise (See
Page 13
).

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 vertical component in the system. See
Figure 36

Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with more
than 8 ft of vertical rise (See
