Jeffrey,
Did you happen to find any problems with the vent pipe backdrafting in these applications?
Most were fairly short runs before going verticle. This particular vent tied into the furnace vent about 24" away. There wasn't much rise in the vent, but no obvious problems.

What was it 7" from Jeff? The roof sheathing or ceiling joists or trusses or.....?
Ceiling drywall in the closet in this case.

It was very obvious in one condo where the drywall was obviously heated and being burned.
