Each 90° elbow equates to
5 linear ft (1.5 m) of vent
●
Each 45° elbow equates to
3 linear ft (0.9 m) of vent
Note

include any elbows.
●
The use of a PVC or polypropylene
concentric termination counts as 5
linear feet (1.5 m) of vent.

The maximum vent lengths at high
altitudes are the same as shown in
the above.
