Simple venting configurations.
For vent configurations requiring one or more 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< V
T

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

Example:
V
= 5 ft (1.5m)
1
V
= 6 ft (1.8m)
2
V
= 10 ft (3.1m)
3
V
= V
+ V
+ V
= 5 ft (1.5m) + 6 ft (1.8m) + 10 ft (3.1m) = 21 ft (6.4m)

H
= 2.5 ft (0.8m)
2
H
= H
+ H
= 8 ft (2.4m) + 2.5 ft (0.8m) = 10.5 ft (3.2m)

H
= .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
O
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 ft (2.5m)
H
= H
+ H
= 10.5 ft (3.2m) + 8.1 ft (2.5m) = 18.6 ft (5.7m)

H

Formula 1:

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