Simple venting configuration

 

 

 

HO

= .03(two 90° elbows - 90°) = .03(180° - 90°) = 2.7 ft

 

 

 

HT

= HR + HO = 8 + 2.7 = 10.7 ft

(only one 90° elbow)

 

 

 

 

 

 

HT

+ VT= 10.7 + 6 =16.7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Formula 1:

HT < 4.2 VT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.2 VT = 4.2 x 6 = 25.2 ft

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10.7 < 25.2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Formula 2:

HT + VT < 24.75 feet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16.7 < 24.75

For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow

Formula 1: HT < 4.2 VT

 

the following formulas apply:

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.2 VT = 4.2 x 5.5 = 23.1 ft

Formula 1: HT

< 4.2 VT

 

 

 

 

 

13.6 < 23.1

 

Formula 2: HT

Formula 2: HT + VT < 24.75 feet
