For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 4.2 V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet
Example:
V

T
= 6 FT
H

= 3 FT
H
2
= 5 FT
H

=
H

H
O
= .03 (two 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (180° - 90°) = 2.7 FT
H
T
=
H
R
+ H
O
= 8 + 2.7 = 10.7 FT
H
T
+ V
T
= 10.7 + 6 = 16.7 FT
Formula 1:
H

< 4.2 V
T

T
=
4.2 x 6 = 25.2 FT
Formula 2:
H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 FT
16.7 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
