For vent configurations requiring more than one 90° elbow, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 4.2 V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet
Example 2:

H
R
+ H

= 8 + 2.7 = 10.7 FT
H

+ V
T
= 10.7 + 6 = 16.7 FT
Formula 1:

T
=
4.2 x 6 = 25.2 FT
Formula 2:
H

< 24.75 FT
16.7 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.
