VERTICAL TERMINATION
For vent confi gurations requiring more than one 45º and one 90°
elbow , the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet

= 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 ft
H

H

H

= 6 + 2 = 8 ft
H
O
= .03 (one 45º elbow + three 90º elbow - 135º)
= .03(45 + 90 + 90 + 90 - 135) = 5.4 ft
H

R
+ H
O
= 8 + 5.4 = 13.4 ft
H
T
+ V
T
= 13.4 + 2.5 = 15.9 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
3V
T
= 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 ft
13.4 > 7.5
Since this formula is not met, this vent confi guration is unac-
ceptable.
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
15.9 < 40
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent confi guration is unac-
ceptable and a new fi replace location or vent confi guration will
need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
Example 5:
V
1
= 1.5 ft
V
2
= 8 ft
V
T
= V
1
+ V
2
= 1.5 + 8= 9.5 ft
H
1
= 1 ft
H
2
= 1 ft
H
3
= 10.75 ft
H
R
= H
1
+ H
2
+ H
3
= 1 + 1 + 10.75 = 12.75 ft
H
O
= .03 (three 90° elbows + two 45° elbow - 135°)
= .03(90 + 90 + 90 + 45 + 45 - 135) = 6.75 ft
H
T
= H
R
+ H
O
= 12.75 + 6.75 = 19.5 ft
H
T
+ V
T
= 19.5 + 4.5= 29 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
3V
T
= 3 x 9.5 = 28.5 ft
19.5 < 28.5
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
29 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent confi guration is accept-
able.
