OPTION 2:
Maximum Equivalent Vent Length Tables:
Determine the number of 90 degree elbows in the vent system. (two 45 degree elbows count as one 90 degree elbow.)
Refer to the tables below to find the maximum vent length based on the number of elbows and termination style.

Maximum vent lengths are specific to the fuel type of the tankless water heater. It is imperative when
performing equivalent vent length calculations that the gas type be taken into consideration.
