For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3.5V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet
Example:
V
1
= 4 FT
V
2
= 1.5 FT
V
T
= V
1
+ V

= 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 FT
H

= 2 FT
H
2
= 1 FT
H
3
= 1 FT
H

= 1.5 FT
H

H
O
= .03 (four 90° elbows + one 45° elbow - 90°)
= .03 (90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 45 - 90) = 9.45 FT
H

+ H

= 5.5 + 9.45 = 14.95 FT
H

T
= 14.95 + 5.5 = 20.45 FT
Formula 1: H
T
< 3.5V
T

T
= 3.5 x 5.5 = 19.25 FT
14.95 < 19.25
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 FT
20.45 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
