Example: If 20 feet total (H+H
) horizontal vent
1
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
) horizontal run, up to a maximum horizontal
1
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 29.
