= 5 + 10 = 15 ft
H

= 3 ft
H

= 1 + 3 + 2.5 = 6.5 ft
H
O
= .03(four 90° elbows - 90°)
= .03(90 + 90 + 90 + 90 - 90) = 8.1 ft

= 6.5 + 8.1 = 14.6 ft
H

+ V
T
= 14.6 + 15 = 29.6 ft
Formula 1: H
T
< V
T
14.6 < 15
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
29.6 < 40
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac-
ceptable.
