Illustrations of proper gas fired water heater venting using type b double wall vent pipe through a roof above or through a chimney below include details for the flue vent connector such as the requirement of a minimum vent connector upwards slope of 1 4 per foot of horizontal run.

Roof pitch rise run in inches.

Depending on your region the vent stack may protrude only a few inches above the surface of the roof.
For 18 feet of run you would have a rise of 72 inches.
2 0 feet above the roof surface.
For the next example you have a shorter chimney height.
If the previous calculation results in the required height of 64 inches we can see that the top of the pipe will not rise above the roof peak but would still meet the requirements of the rule.
The reason for this is so than there are no foul or gas entering the house so that there are no illnesses occurring.
