VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
NOTE: Secure Vent (rigid vent pipe) is shown
®
in the figures; Secure Flex
may also be used.
NOTE: It is very important that the horizontal/
inclined run be maintained in a straight (no
dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended
incline is approximately 1/4" per foot (20 mm
per meter) horizontal, in a direction away from
the fireplace. The rise per foot run ratios that
are smaller are acceptable all the way down to
at or near level.
NOTE: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure
Flex ) firestop/spacer must be used anytime
®
vent pipe passes through a combustible floor
or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Se-
cure Flex)firestop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
NOTE: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in
place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise
to run ratios, as shown in the venting figures
for 90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree
elbows are used.
NOTE: An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of
vertical rise, except where an elbow is the
only vertical component in the system. (See
Figure 38 on Page 20).

Example: If 8 feet of (H) horizontal vent
run is needed, then 4 feet minimum (V)
vertical vent will be required.
This table shows a 1 (V) to 2 (H) ratio.
For every 1 foot of (V) vertical, you are
allowed 2 feet of (H) horizontal run, up to
a maximum horizontal run of 8 feet.
