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:
V
= 9 FT (2.7m)

V
= 6 FT (1.8m)
2
V
= V
+ V
= 9FT (2.7m) + 6FT (1.8m) = 15FT (4.6m)

H
= 1.5 FT (0.5m)

H
= H
+ H
+ H
= 3FT (0.9m) + 2FT (0.6m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 6.5FT (2m)

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