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 39.
