HORIZONTAL VENT RUN PLUS OFFSETS IN FEET (HT)
For vent confi gurations requiring more than one 45º and 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet
Example 1:
90° | H2 |
| |
V1 |
|
FIGURE 35 |
|
45° |
|
H1 |
|
V1 = 8 ft |
|
VT V1= 8 ft |
|
H1 = 2.5 ft |
|
H2 = 2 ft |
|
HR = H1 + H2 = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 ft |
|
HO = .03 (one 45° elbows + two 90° elbows - 135°) |
|
= .03(225 - 135°) = 2.7 ft |
|
HT = HR + HO = 4.5 + 2.7 = 7.2 ft |
|
HT + VT = 7.2 + 8 = 15.2 ft |
|
Formula 1: HT < VT |
|
7.2< 8
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet 15.2 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is acceptable.
For vent confi gurations requiring more than one 45º and one 90° elbow the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < 4.2 VT |
|
|
|
|
Formula 2: HT + VT < 24.75 feet | 90° |

FIGURE 37
V1 = 4 ft
V2 = 1.5 ft
VT = V1 + V2 = 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 ft
H1 = 2 ft
H2 = 1 ft
H3 = 1 ft
H4 = 1.5 ft
HR = H1 + H2 + H3 + H4 = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5 ft
HO = .03 (one 45° elbow + four 90° elbows - 135°)
= .03(405 - 135) = 8.1 ft |
| ||
HT = HR + HO = 5.5 | + 8.1 | = 13.6 ft | |
HT + VT | = 13.6 + | 5.5 = | 19.1 ft |
Formula 1: | HT < 4.2VT | ||
4.2VT = 4.2 x 5.5 = 23.1 ft 13.6 < 16.8
Formula 2: HT + VT < 24.75 feet
19.1 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is accept- able.
