For vent configurations requiring more than one 45° and one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
Formula 2: H

+ V
T
< 40 feet (12.2m)
Example:
V

= 5 FT (1.5m)
V
2
= 10 FT (3.1m)
V

=
V

+ V

= 5 FT (1.5m) + 10 FT (3.1m) = 15 FT (4.6m)
H

= 3 FT (0.9m)
H
2
= 2.5 FT (0.8m)
H

= 3FT (0.9m) + 2.5FT (0.8m) = 5.5 FT (1.7m)
H
O
= .03 (one 45° + three 90° elbows - 135°)
= .03 (45 + 270 - 135°) = 5.4 FT (1.6m)
H

H
R
+ H
O
= 5.5 FT (1.7m)+ 5.4 FT (1.m) = 10.9 FT (3.3m)
H
T
+ V
T
= 10.9 FT (3.3m)+ 15 FT (4.6m) = 25.9 FT (7.9m)
Formula 1:
H

< V
T
10.9FT (3.3m) < 15 (4.6m)
Formula 2:
H
T
+ V
T
< 40 FT (12.2m)
25.9FT (7.9m) < 40 (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
