I would say no.
Manufacturer’s installation instructions call for a minimum 6" verticle rise from the draft hood before an elbo.
See page 10:

Yes, well…sory fur thuh airwhores.
Good info Larry.
How about the downward slope of the vent?
That vent would be a red flag on my inspection.
The installer of this vent used to design roller coasters.
Thank you very much, that helps.
