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
Example:
V

= 3 FT
V

= 8 FT

V
2
= 3 FT + 8 FT = 11 FT
H

= 2.5 FT
H

= 2 FT
H

H

= 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 FT
H

= .03 (three 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (270° - 90°) = 5.4 FT
H

H
O
= 4.5 + 5.4 = 9.9 FT

= 9.9 + 11 = 20.9 FT
Formula 1:

Since both formulas are met, this vent con
fi
guration is acceptable.
