See
Table 21
as an aid in venting component selection for a particular range of
exterior wall thicknesses.
If 20 ft of (H) horizontal vent run is needed, then 4 ft 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 (6.096 m).
