The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is
70°. (Fig. 6)
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizon-
tal vent length in a system with a 7.5’ (.3 m) vertical
rise is 0’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the
horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5. m). In
Figure 5 Dimension A plus B must not be greater than
17’ (5. m).
•
The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per side
wall installation is six (6). These elbows can be installed
in either the vertical or horizontal run.
•
For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the
length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18”
(45cm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are in-
stalled on the vertical part of the vent system.
