Simple venting configuration (only one 90° elbow)
For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H < 4.2 V
T T
Formula 2: H + V < 24.75 feet
T T
Example 2:
V = V = 6 FT
1 T
H = 3 FT
1
H = 5 FT
2
H = H + H = 3 + 5 = 8 FT
R 1 2
H = .03 (two 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (180° - 90°) = 2.7 FT
O
H = H + H = 8 + 2.7 = 10.7 FT
T R O
H + V = 10.7 + 6 = 16.7 FT
T T
Formula 1: H < 4.2 V
T
4.2 V
10.7 < 25.2
Formula 2: H + V < 24.75 FT
T T
16.7 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
Example 3:
V = 4 FT
1
V = 1.5 FT
2
V = V + V = 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 FT
T 1 2
H = 2 FT
1
H = 1 FT
2
H = 1 FT
3
H = 1.5 FT
4
H = H + H + H + H = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5 FT
R 1 2 3 4
H = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT
O
H = H + H = 5.5 + 8.1 = 13.6 FT
T R O
H + V = 13.6 + 5.5 = 19.1 FT
T T
Formula 1: H < 4.2 V
T

13.6 < 23.1
Formula 2: H + V < 24.75 FT
T T
19.1 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
