Top Or Rear Exit Vertical Termination - Napoleon GS60-N Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

3.11 TOP OR REAR EXIT VERTICAL TERMINATION

Simple venting configurations.
For vent configurations requiring one or more 90° elbows (top exit) or one or more 90° elbows (rear exit),
the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H < V
T
Formula 2: H + V
T
Example 6:
V = 5 FT
1
V = 6 FT
2
V = 10 FT
3
V = V + V + V
T 1 2 3
H = 8 FT
1
H = 2.5 FT
2
H = H + H = 8 + 2.5 = 10.5 FT
R 1 2
H = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
O
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT
H = H + H = 10.5 + 8.1 = 18.6 FT
T R O
H + V = 18.6 + 21 = 39.6 FT
T T
Formula 1:
Formula 2:
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
