• Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the horizontal
run. For each 45° elbow used on the horizontal plane,
the maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18"
(450mm).

No elbows = 10’ (3m)
1x45° elbows = 8.5’ (2.6m)
2x45° elbows = 7’ (2.1m)
• A minimum of an 8' (2.5m) vertical rise is required.
• Two sets of 45°elbows offsets may be used within the
vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8' (2.5 m) of
vent pipe can be used between elbows. See Figure 19.
