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 - 90°*) in feet

VT - combined vertical vent lengths in feet

V1

Example 1:

V1 = 3 ft V2 = 8 ft

VT = V1 + V2 = 3 + 8 = 11 ft H1 = 2.5 ft

H2 = 2 ft

HR = H1 + H2 = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 ft

HO = .03 (three 90° elbows - 90°) = .03(270° - 90°) = 5.4 ft HT = HR + HO = 4.5 + 5.4 = 9.9 ft

HT + VT = 9.9 + 11 = 20.9 ft

Formula 1: HT < VT 9.9 < 11

Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet 20.9 < 40

Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
