Simple venting confi guration (only one 90° elbow)
For vent confi gurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< V
T
Formula 2: H
+ V
T
Example:
V
= 3 FT (0.9m)
1
V
= 8 FT (2.4m)
2
V
= V
+ V
= 3 FT (0.9m ) + 8 FT (2.4m) = 11 FT (3.4m)

H
= 2.5 FT (0.8m)

H
= 2 FT (0.6m)
2
H
= H
+ H
= 2.5 FT (0.8m) + 2 FT (0.6m) = 4.5 FT (1.4m)

H
= .03 (three 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (270° - 90°) = 5.4 FT (1.7m)
O
H
= H
+ H
= 4.5 FT (1.4m) + 5.4 FT (1.6m) = 9.9 FT (3m)

H
+ V
= 9.9 FT (3m) + 11 FT (3.4m) = 20.9 FT (6.4m)
T
T
Formula 1:
H
9.9 FT (3m) < 11 FT (3.4m)
Formula 2:
H
20.9 FT (6.4m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is acceptable.
