Simple venting configuration
(only two 90° elbows)
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< 3.5V
T

Formula 2: H
+ V
< 24.75 feet (7.5m)

Example:
V
= 4 FT (1.2m)

V
= 1.5 FT (0.5m)
2
V
= V
+ V
= 4FT (1.2m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 5.5 FT (1.7m)
