For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows (top exit) or one 90° elbow (rear exit), the following
formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3 V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet (12.2m)
Example:
V
1
= 2 FT (0.6m)
V
2
= 1 FT (0.3m)
V
3
= 1.5 FT (0.5m)

= 2FT (0.6m) + 1FT (0.3m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 4.5 FT (1.4m)

= 6FT (1.8m) + 2FT (0.6m) = 8 FT (2.4m)
H

= .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT (2.5m)
H

= 8FT (2.4m) + 8.1FT (2.5m) = 16.1FT (4.9m)
H
T
+ V
T
= 16.1FT (4.9m) + 4.5FT (1.4m) = 20.6FT (6.3m)
Formula 1: H
T
< 3.5 V
T
3.5 V
T
= 3FT (0.9m) x 4.5FT (1.4m) = 13.5 FT (4.1m)
16.1FT (4.9m) < 13.5 FT (4.1m)
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
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.
