The shaded area within the lines represents acceptable values for HT and VT .
For vent confi gurations requiring more than zero 90° elbow (top exit) or one 90° elbow (rear exit), the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet
V1 | =5 ft |
V2 | =6 ft |
V3 | =10 ft |
VT | = V1 + V2 + V3 = 5 + 6 + 10 = 21 ft |
H1 | =8 ft |
H2 | =2.5 ft |
HR | = H1 + H2 = 8 + 2.5 = 10.5 ft |
HO | = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°) |
| = .03 (90 + 90 + 90 + 90 - 90) = 8.1 ft |
HT | =HR + HO = 10.5 + 8.1 = 18.6 ft |
HT + VT = 18.6 + 21 = 39.6 ft
Formula 1: HT < VT 18.6 < 21
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet 39.6 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
