20 NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
See Table 9 as an aid in venting component selection
for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.
HORIZONTAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
Notes:
• Secure Vent™ components (rigid vent pipe and terminal) are shown
in the Figures; Secure Flex™ components (flexible vent pipe and
terminal) may also be used.
• 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.
• 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 (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must
be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
• 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.
• The tables show a 1(V) to 5(H) ratio up to a maximum horizontal run
of 20 feet.
• AN ELBOW IS ACCEPTABLE AS 1 FOOT OF VERTICAL RISE.
Use Table 9 as an aid in venting component selection for a particular
range of exterior wall thicknesses.

Required
Example: If 20 feet of (H) hori-
zontal 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
vertical, you are allowed 5 feet
of (H) horizontal run up to a
maximum (H) horizontal run
of 20 feet.
