The answer "1/4 inch per foot" is downright dangerous. 1/4 per foot generally applies to water waste lines. Try to find your answer at www.hvac-talk.com, but don't tell those people you're doing the job yourself. Tell them you suspect the vent in your house is done wrong, and that you'll hire a pro, but you'd like to know the maximum angle.
