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

Formula 1:
H
18.6 FT (5.7m) < 21 FT (6.4m)
Formula 2:
H
39.6FT (12.1m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
