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.

Only the square termination (SV4.5HT-2) may be used.

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: 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.
See Table 8  as an aid in venting component selection 
for a particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.
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 (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be 
used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
Note:  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.
