For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3.5V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet (7.5m)
Example:
V
1
= 4 FT (1.2m)
V
2
= 1.5 FT (0.5m)
V
T
= V
1
+ V

= 4FT (1.2m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 5.5 FT (1.7m)
H
1
= 2 FT (0.6m)
H
2
= 1 FT (0.3m)
H
3
= 1 FT (0.3m)
H
4

Formula 1: H

T
= 3.5FT (1.1m) x 5.5FT (1.7m) = 19.25FT (5.9m)
14.95 FT (4.6m) < 19.25 FT (5.9m)
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 FT (7.5m)
20.45 FT (6.2m) < 24.75 FT (7.5m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
