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:
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.
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), slightly elevated plane. The recommended
incline is approximately 1/4" per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal,
in a direction away from the fireplace.
The rise per foot run ratios that
are smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level.
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.

Under no circumstances, may separate sections of
concentric flexible vent pipe be joined together.
