T
< 40 FT (12.2m)
16. 1FT (4.9m) < 13.5 (4.1m)
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new fireplace
location or vent configuration will
need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
Example:
V
1
= 1.5 FT (0.5m)
V
2
= 5 FT (1.5m)
V
T
= V
1

= 1.5FT (0.5m)+ 5FT (1.5m) = 6.5 FT (2m)

3
= 1FT (0.3m) + 1FT (0.3m) + 10.75FT (3.3m) = 12.75FT (3.9m)
H
O
= .03 (three 90° elbows + one 45° elbow - 90°)

H
T
= .03 (270° + 45° - 90°) = 6.75 FT (2.1m)
H

H

T
= 19.5FT (5.9m) + 6.5FT (2m) = 26 FT (7.9m)
Formula 1:

T

Formula 2:
H
T

T
< 40 FT (12.2m)
26 FT (7.9m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
