2.9 top and rear exit vertical termination
Simple venting configurations.
For vent configurations requiring one or more 90° elbows (top exit) or one or more 90° elbows
(rear exit), the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H < V
T T
Formula 2: H + V < 40 feet (12.2m)
T T
Example:
V = 5 FT (1.5m)
1
V = 6 FT (1.8m)
2
V = 10 FT (3.1m)
3
V = V + V + V
= 5FT (1.5m) + 6FT (1.8m) + 10FT (3.1m) = 21 FT (6.4m)
T 1 2 3
H = 8 FT (2.4m)
1
H = 2.5 FT (0.8m)
2
H = H + H = 8FT (2.4m) + 2.5FT (0.8m) = 10.5FT (3.2m)
R 1 2
H = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
O
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT (2.5m)
H = H + H = 10.5FT (3.2m) + 8.1FT (2.5m) = 18.6FT (5.7m)
T R O
H + V = 18.6FT (5.7m) + 21FT (6.4m) = 39.6FT (12.1m)
T T
Formula 1: H < 3.5V
T
18.6 FT (5.7m) < 21 FT (6.4m)
Formula 2: H + V
T T
39.6FT (12.1m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
