Figure 22
nOte: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a
minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of

the maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18"
max height
(450 mm).
Example: Maximum horizontal length
No elbows = 10' (3 m)
1x45° elbows = 8.5' (2.6 m)
2x45° elbows = 7' (2.1 m)
•
A minimum of an 8' (2.5 m) vertical rise is required.
•
Two sets of 45°elbows offsets may be used within the
vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8' (2.5 m)
of vent pipe can be used between elbows. Figure 23
