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 4 on page 18
as an aid in venting component
selection for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.

An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of vertical rise except where an elbow is the only vertical component in the system. See Figure 35.
