6.7.7 Combustion air and vent piping lengths.
In the table below you fi nd the maximum equivalent pipe length of the vent/air system
based on 3" diameter. These lengths are for single pipe (room air), twin pipe, and
concentric venting systems.
Calculation of equivalent length vent system
Choose the vent type and fi ll out the corresponding table.
* When determining equivalent combustion air and vent length, add 6 feet for each
90° elbow, 3 feet for each 45° elbow, 5 feet for the concentric terminal in the Parallel
System, 2 feet for the concentric terminal in the Concentric System and 12 feet for
the combustion room air fi lter.
Example of calculation:
Twin tube (parallel) with terminal
Combustion air length : 24 ft with elbow 3 x 90°
Vent length : 24 ft with elbow 2 x 90°, elbow 2 x 45°
Calculation:
Equivalent Air Length : (24+3x6+2) x 0.5 = 23 ft
Equivalent Vent Length : (24+2x6+2x3+2) x 0.5 = 23 ft +Total = 46 ft.
