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 Figure 44.
