For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
Formula 2: H

T
< 40 feet (12.2m)
Example:
V

= 2 FT (0.6m)
V

= 1 FT (0.3m)

= 1.5 FT (0.5m)

= 16.1FT (4.9m) + 4.5FT (1.4m) = 20.6 FT (6.3m)
Formula 1: H
T

T

T
= 3FT (0.9m) x 4.5FT (1.4m) = 13.5FT (4.1m)
16.1FT (4.9m) > 13.5FT (4.1m)
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet (12.2m)
20.6FT (6.3m) < 40 (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.
