DEFINITIONS

for the following symbols used in the venting calculations and examples are:

>- greater than

>- equal to or greater than

< - less than

<- equal to or less than

HT - total of both horizontal vent lengths (HR) and offsets (HO) in feet

HR - combined horizontal vent lengths in feet

HO - offset factor: .03(total degrees of offset - 135°*) in feet

VT - combined vertical vent lengths in feet

The shaded area within the lines represents acceptable values for HT and VT .

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

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 confi guration is ac- ceptable.
