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

= 3 FT (0.9m)
V
2
= 8 FT (2.4m)

= 3 FT (0.9m ) + 8 FT (2.4m) = 11 FT (3.4m)

H

= 2 FT (0.6m)

H

T
= 9.9 FT (3m) + 11 FT (3.4m) = 20.9 FT (6.4m)
Formula 1:

T

<
11 FT (3.4m)
Formula 2:
H
T
+ V
T
< 40 FT (12.2m)
20.9 FT (6.4m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is acceptable.
