E. Vent Diagrams
To replace the first starter elbow with two 45° elbows,
refer to Figure 7.4. All other 90° elbows can be replaced
with two 45° elbows.
General Rules:
•
SUBTRACT ft. from the total H measurement for each
90° elbow installed horizontally.
•
SUBTRACT -/2 ft. from the total H measurement for
each 45° elbow installed horizontally.
•
A maximum of three 90° elbows (or six 45° elbows)
may be used in any vent configuration. Some elbows
may be installed horizontally. See Figure 7.9.
•
Elbows may be placed back to back anywhere in the
system as long as the first 90° elbow is a starter elbow
except as shown in Figure 7.4.
•
When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield
firestop must be installed on both sides.
•
When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling
firestop must be installed.
•
Horizontal runs of vent do not require vertical rise;
horizontal runs may be level.
