For vent confi gurations requiring more than zero 90° elbow (top exit)
or one 90° elbow (rear exit), the following formulas apply:

Since only formula 2 is met, this vent confi guration is unacceptable
and a new fi replace location or vent confi guration will need to be
established to satisfy both formulas.
