= 10 ft
V

= V
1
+ V
2
= 5 + 10 = 15 ft

= 3 ft
H

= 2.5 ft

+ H

= .03(three 90° elbows - 90°)
= .03(90 + 90 + 90 - 90) = 5.4 ft

= 10.9 + 15 = 25.9 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
10.9 < 15
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
25.9 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac-
ceptable.

For vent configurations requiring more than zero 90° elbow
(top exit) or one 90° elbow (rear exit), the following formu-
las apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
