HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
See graph to determine the re-
quired vertical rise V
T
for the re-
quired horizontal run H
T
.
For vent configurations requiring more than one 45º and
90° elbow the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 4.2 V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet

= 1.5 ft
V

= V
1
+ V

= 4 ft + 1.5 ft = 5.5 ft
H

= 2 ft
H
2
= 1 ft
H

= 1 ft
H

= .03(one 45º elbow + three 90º elbow -135º)
=.03(315-135)=5.4ft

= 5.5 +5.4 = 10.9 ft
H

T
= 10.9 + 5.5 = 16.4 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< 4.2 V
T
4.2 V
T
= 4.2 x 5.5 = 23.1 ft
10.9 < 16.8
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet
16.4 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac-
ceptable.
