Simple venting configurations.
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows (top exit) or one 90° elbow (rear exit), the following
formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
< 3 V

Formula 1:

16.1 < 13.5
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2:
H

< 40 FT
T
T
16.1 < 13.5
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.
