What slope is required for a vent connector?

The correct slope required for a vent connector is 1/4 inch per foot. This specific slope is necessary to ensure proper drainage and prevent condensation from accumulating within the vent connector. If the slope is too shallow, it can lead to poor drainage, increasing the risk of blockages and possibly negative air pressure within the system, which may result in improper venting.

Furthermore, a slope greater than 1/4 inch per foot might create unnecessary stress on the connector and could compromise the system's integrity. The recommendation of 1/4 inch per foot strikes a balance, allowing for proper flow without causing potential hazards associated with steeper slopes.
