Example: If 20 feet total (H+H
1
)
horizontal vent run is needed, 
then 4 feet minimum of (V) verti-
cal 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+H
1
) horizontal run up to
a maximum total 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 35.

HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL) 
TERMINATION SYSTEM
Figure 31, and Figures 34 to 40 on Pages 
21 to 23 and their associated Horizontal Vent 
Table illustrate the various horizontal venting 
confi gurations that are possible for use with 
these appliances. Secure Vent pipe applications 
are shown in these Figures; Secure Flex pipe 
may also be used. A Horizontal Vent Table sum-
marizes each system’s minimum and maximum 
vertical and horizontal length values that can be 
used to design and install the vent components 
in a variety of applications.
Both of these horizontal vent systems terminate 
through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or 
prohibit terminating in specifi c areas. Refer to 
Figure 7 on Page 8 for location guidelines.
Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-
nents are unitized concentric pipe components 
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer 
to Figure 20 on Page 15). All of the appli-
ances covered in this document are fi tted with 
collars having locking inclined channels. The 
dimpled end of the vent components fi t over 
the appliance collar to create the positive twist 
lock connection.
A. Plan the vent run - 
Analyze the vent routing and determine the 
types and quantities of sections required 
4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" 
(572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" 
(1181 mm) net section lengths are available. 
Plan the vent lengths so that a joint does not 
occur at the intersection of ceiling or roof joists. 
Make allowances for elbows as indicated in 
Figure 22.
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to 
combustibles on the vertical sections. Clear-
ances for the horizontal runs are; 3" (76 mm) 
on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and 1" (25 mm) 
at the bottom.
