V + H + H = 40 feet (2.2 m) Max
H = 8 feet (2.438 meters) Max.
H + H = 20 feet (6.096 meters) Max.
Example:
If 20 feet of (H + H
1
) 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+
H
1
) horizontal run, up to a maximum horizontal
run of 20 feet.
Example:
If 20 feet of (H + H

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

An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of vertical rise except
where an elbow is the only vertical component in
the system. See
