VERTICAL TERMINATION
Example 3:
V
1
= 5 ft
V
2
= 10 ft
V
T
= V
1
+ V
2
= 5 + 10 = 15 ft
H
1
= 3 ft
H
2
= 2.5 ft
H
R
= H
1
+ H
2
= 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 ft
H
O
= .03 (one 45º elbow + three 90º elbows - 135º)
= .03(45+90+90+90-135)=5.4
H
T
= H
R
+ H
O
= 5.5 + 5.4 = 10.9 ft
H
T
+ V
T
= 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 confi guration is ac-
ceptable.
