For vent configurations requiring more than one 45º and 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:

Formula 1: HT < VT

Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet

Example 1:

HO

= .03(one 45º elbow + two 90º elbows - 135º)

=0.3(225-135º) = 2.7ft

HT

= HR + HO = 4.5 + 2.7 = 7.2 ft

HT + VT = 7.2 +8 =15.2ft

Formula 1: HT < VT

7.2< 8

Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet

15.2 < 40

Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac- ceptable.
