For vent configurations requiring more than one 45º and
one 90° elbow , the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet

O
= .03(one 45º elbow + three 90º elbow - 135º)

Formula 1:
H
T
< 3V
T
3V
T
= 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 ft
13.4 > 7.5
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is
unacceptable
.
Formula 2:
H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
15.9 < 40
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unac-
ceptable and a new fireplace location or vent configuration
will need to be established to satisfy both formulas.

Formula 1:

T

19.5 <
28.5
Formula 2:
H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
29 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac-
ceptable.
