Square termination (SV4.5HT-2) shown.
See
Table 9 on Page 21
as an aid in venting component selection for a particular range
of exterior wall thicknesses.
NOTE:
Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with more than 8 ft of vertical
rise (See
Page 13
).
Square termination (SV4.5HT-2) shown.
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.

Table 9 on Page 21

NOTE:
Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with

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 vertical component in the
system. See
