VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
Note: Secure Vent (rigid vent pipe) is shown
in the figures; Secure Flex (flexible vent pipe)
may also be used.
Note: It is very important that the horizontal/
inclined run be maintained in a straight (no
dips) and recommended to be in a slightly
elevated plane, in a direction away from the
fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm per meter)
which is ideal, though 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 ceil-
ing. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure
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 24 ).
WARNING
Under no circumstances, may sepa-
rate sections of concentric flexible
vent pipe be joined together.

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.
