2.11 REAR EXIT HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
Example 4:
V
1
= 9 FT
V
2
= 6 FT
V
T
=
V
1
+ V
2
= 9 + 6 = 15 FT
H
1
= 3 FT
H
2
= 2 FT
H
3
= 1.5 FT
H
R
=
H
1
+ H
2
+ H
3
= 3 + 2 + 1.5 = 6.5 FT
H
O
= .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT
H
T
=
H
R
+ H
O
= 6.5 + 8.1 = 14.6 FT
H
T
+ V
T
= 14.6 + 15 = 29.6 FT
Formula 1:
H
T
< V
T
14.6 < 15
Formula 2:
H
T
+ V
T
< 40 FT
29.6 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
