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

Formula 2: H
+ V
< 40 feet (12.2m)

Example:
= 9 FT (2.7m)

= 9FT (2.7m) + 6FT (1.8m) = 15FT (4.6m)

Formula 1:
H
< V
T
14.6 FT (4.5m) < 15 FT (4.6m)
Formula 2:
H
+ V
T
29.6 FT (9m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
