Simple venting configuration (only two 90° elbows)
Example 5:

= 1.5 ft
V
T
= V
1
+ V

= 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 ft
H

H

= 1 ft
H

= 1 ft
H

= 1.5 ft
H
R

= 2 + 1 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5 ft
H
O
= .03(four 90° elbows + one 45° elbow - 90°)
= .03(90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 45 - 90) = 9.45 ft
H

+ H
O
= 5.5 + 9.45 = 14.95 ft
H

+ V
T
= 14.95 + 5.5 = 20.45 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< 3.5V
T
3.5 V
T
= 3.5 x 5.5 = 19.25 ft
14.95 < 19.25
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet
20.45 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac-
ceptable.
