The shaded area within the lines represents acceptable values for HT and VT .
For vent configurations requiring elbows, the following for- mulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet
V1 | =5 ft |
V2 | =10 ft |
VT | = V1 + V2 = 5 + 10 = 15 ft |
H1 | =1 ft |
H2 | =3 ft |
H3 | =2.5 ft |
HR | = H1 + H2 + H3 = 1 + 3 + 2.5 = 6.5 ft |
HO | = .03(four 90° elbows - 90°) |
| = .03(90 + 90 + 90 + 90 - 90) = 8.1 ft |
HT | = HR + HO = 6.5 + 8.1 = 14.6 ft |
HT + VT = 14.6 + 15 = 29.6 ft
Formula 1: HT < VT 14.6 < 15
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet
29.6 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac- ceptable.
