For vent confi gurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
Example:
V
1
= 3 FT
V
2
= 8 FT
V
T
= V
1
+ V

= 3 FT + 8 FT = 11 FT

R
+ H

= 4.5 + 5.4 = 9.9 FT

T
= 9.9 + 11 = 20.9 FT
Formula 1: H

T
9.9 < 11
Formula 2: H

< 40 FT
20.9 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is acceptable.
