HORIZONTAL VENT RUN PLUS OFFSET IN FEET HT

The shaded area within the lines represents acceptable

values for HT and VT

For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:

Formula 1: HT < 3VT

Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet

Example 2:

V1 = 2 FT

V2 = 1 FT

V3 = 1.5 FT

VT = V1 + V2 + V3 = 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 4.5 FT H1 = 6 FT

H2 = 2 FT

HR = H1 + H2 = 6 + 2 = 8 FT

HO = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT

HT = HR + HO = 8 + 8.1 = 16.1 FT HT + VT = 16.1 + 4.5 = 20.6 FT

Formula 1:

= 3 x 4.5 = 13.5 FT

 

16.1 > 13.5

Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.

Formula 2:

HT + VT < 40 feet

 

20.6 < 40

Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new fireplace location or vent configuration will need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
