Simple venting configurations.
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< 3V
T
T
Formula 2: H
+ V
< 40 feet (12.2m)
T

Example:
V
= 2 ft (0.6m)
1
V
= 1 ft (0.3m)
2
V
= 1.5 ft (0.5m)
3
V
= V
+V
+V
= 2 ft (0.6m) + 1 ft (0.3m) + 1.5 ft (0.5m) = 4.5 ft (1.4m)

H
= .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
O
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 ft (2.5m)
H
= H
+ H
= 8 ft (2.4m) + 8.1 ft (2.5m) = 16.1 ft (4.9m)

Formula 1:
H
< 3V
T
T
3V
= 3 ft (0.9m) x 4.5 ft (1.4m) = 13.5 ft (4.1m)
T
16.1 ft (4.9m) > 13.5 ft (4.1m)
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2:
H
+ V
< 40 ft (12.2m)
T
T
20.6 ft (6.3m) < 40 ft (12.2m)
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new appliance location or vent configuration will
need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
