Simple venting configurations.
EN EN
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
Formula 2: H
Example:
V = 2 FT (0.6m)
1
V = 1 FT (0.3m)
2
V = 1.5 FT (0.5m)
3
V = V +V +V
T 1 2 3
H = 6 FT (1.8m)
1
H = 2 FT (0.6m)
2
H = H + H = 6FT (1.8m) + 2FT (0.6m) = 8 FT (2.4m)
R 1 2
H = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°)
O
= .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT (2.5m)
H = H + H
T R O
H + V = 16.1FT (4.9m) + 4.5FT (1.4m) = 20.6 FT (6.3m)
T T
Formula 1:
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2:
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new appliance location or vent configuration will
need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
