Simple venting configurations.
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< 3V
T
Formula 2: H
+ V
T
Example:
V
= 2 FT
1
V
= 1 FT
2
V
= 1.5 FT
3
V
= V
+ V
+ V
= 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 4.5 FT

H
= .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
O
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT
H

= 8 + 8.1 = 16.1 FT

Formula 1:
H
16.1 > 13.5
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2:
H
20.6 < 40
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new appliance location or vent configuration will
need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
