nfi guration (only one 90° elbow)
Simple venting confi guration
(only one 90° elbow)
See graph to determine the required vertical rise V
T
for the
required horizontal run H
T
.
For vent confi gurations requiring more than one 90° elbow,
the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 35 feet
Example 1:
V
1
= 3 ft
V
2
= 8 ft
V
T
= V
1
+ V
2
= 3 + 8 = 11 ft
H
1
= 2.5 ft
H
2
= 2 ft
H
R
= H
1
+ H
2
= 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 ft
H
O
= .03(three 90° elbows - 90°) = .03(270° - 90°) = 5.4

T
= H
R
+ H
O
= 4.5 + 5.4 = 9.9 ft
H
T
+ V
T
= 9.9 + 11 = 20.9 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
9.9 < 11
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 35 feet
20.9 < 35
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is
acceptable.
