Square termination (SV4.5HT-2) shown.
See Table 9 on Page 21 as an aid in venting component selection for a particular range
of exterior wall thicknesses.
Note: Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with more than 8 ft of vertical
rise (See Page 13).
Square termination (SV4.5HT-2) shown.
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.
See Table 9 on Page 21 as an aid in venting component
selection for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.
Note: Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with
more than 8 ft of vertical rise (See Page 13).
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.
An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of vertical
rise except where an elbow is the only vertical
component in the system. See Figure 36.
