For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet (12.2m)
Example:
V

= 9 FT (2.7m)
V
2
= 6 FT (1.8m)
V
T
= V
1
+ V

= 9FT (2.7m) + 6FT (1.8m) = 15FT (4.6m)
H

= 3 FT (0.9m)
H

= 2 FT (0.6m)

= 1.5 FT (0.5m)

= 3FT (0.9m) + 2FT (0.6m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 6.5FT (2m)
H
O
= .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT (2.5m)

= 6.5FT (2m) + 8.1FT (2.5m) = 14.6FT (4.5m)

T
+ V
T
= 14.6FT (4.5m) + 15FT (4.6m) = 29.6 FT (9m)
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
14.6 FT (4.5m) < 15 FT (4.6m)
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 FT (12.2m)
29.6 FT (9m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
