For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H

< 24.75 feet (7.5m)
Example 2:

T
=
4.2 (1.3m) x 6FT (1.8m) = 25.2FT (7.7m)
10.7FT (3.3m) < 25.2FT (7.7m)
Formula 2:
H

T
< 24.75 FT (7.5m)
16.7FT (5.1m) < 24.75 FT (7.5m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
