Example:
If 20 feet total (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 total
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
