*NOTES
1.
Subtract 3.5 ft. for each additional 3" 90 degree elbow.
2. Two 45 degree elbows are equivalent to one 90 degree elbow.
3. One short radius elbow is equivalent to two long radius
elbows.
4. Do not include termination elbows in calculation of vent length.
5. This table is applicable for elevations from sea level to 4000
ft. For higher elevations, decrease vent pipe lengths by 8% per
1000 ft. of altitude.
6. Only the above pipe materials are approved for use with these
condensing furnaces.
