venting

On a natural vent water heater is there any minimum requirement on how high up the elbow in the vent must be from the vent hood? For example if height is tight can the elbow be an inch above the vent hood?
I understand the vent must pitch up towards the chimney but cannot find any spec on height before a 90 deg bend.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I feel its better safe then sorry.

The Elbow...
Can connect directly to the vent hood, assuming the rest of the vent is properly installed.Bob Boan

It is often a good
idea with that type of condition, no rise, to actually increase the flue one size. My recommendation for all water heaters today is no less than 4" pipe and make it double wall all the way.0 -
