Simple venting configuration
(only two 90° elbows)
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< 3.5V
T
T
Formula 2: H
+ V
< 24.75 feet (7.5m)

Example:
V
= 4 FT (1.2m)
1
V
= 1.5 FT (0.5m)
2
V
= V
+ V
= 4FT (1.2m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 5.5 FT (1.7m)

= 2FT(0.6m) + 1FT(0.3m) + 1FT(0.3m) + 1.5FT(0.5m) = 5.5 FT(1.7m)

H
= .03 (four 90° elbows + one 45° elbow - 90°)
O
= .03 (90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 45 - 90) = 9.45 FT (2.9m)
H

14.95 FT (4.6m) < 19.25 FT (5.9m)
Formula 2:

T
T
20.45 FT (6.2m) < 24.75 FT (7.5m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
