64 Venting for Combustion Air
5.5 Measuring Vent Length
The maximum vent length when using 2 in exhaust
ducts is 65 ft (20 m). The maximum vent length
when using 3 in vent ducts is 150 ft (45 m). The
intake duct length may be identical to the exhaust
duct length. Maximum vent lengths reduce
according to the number of elbows used, as shown
in the following table:
Vent
Size
Maximum
Length
Maximum
# of Elbows Equivalent Length
2 in
65 ft
(19.5 m)
6
Reduce the
maximum vent
length accordingly
for each elbow used:
●
Each 90° elbow
equates to 8 linear
feet of vent
●
Each 45° elbow
equates to 4 linear
feet of vent
3 in
150 ft
(45 m)
8
Reduce the
maximum vent
length accordingly
for each elbow used:
●
Each 90° elbow
equates to 5 linear
feet of vent
●
Each 45° elbow
equates to 3 linear
feet of vent
Note
●
The Maximum Length does not
include any elbows.
●
The use of a PVC or polypropylene
termination kit counts as 5 linear feet
(1.5 m) of vent.
●
The use of a tee counts for the same
equivalent length as a 90° elbow for
the vent size.
●
The maximum vent lengths at high
altitudes are the same as shown in the
table above.
