HORIZONTAL VENT RUN PLUS OFFSET IN FEET HT
The shaded area within the lines represents acceptable values for HT and VT .
V1 |
| =9 ft |
V2 |
| =6 ft |
VT |
| = V1 + V2 = 9 + 6 = 15 ft |
H1 |
| =3 ft |
H2 |
| =2 ft |
H3 |
| =1.5 ft |
HR |
| = H1 + H2 + H3 = 3 + 2 + 1.5 = 6.5 ft |
HO |
| = .03(four 90° elbows - 90°) |
|
| = .03(90 + 90 + 90 + 90 - 90) = 8.1 ft |
HT | + VT | =HR + HO = 6.5 + 8.1 = 14.6 ft |
HT | =14.6 + 15 = 29.6 ft |
Formula 1: HT < VT 14.6 < 15
Formula 2: HT + VT < 35 feet 29.6 < 35
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 35 feet
