The shaded area within the lines represents acceptable
values for H
T
and V
T
.
For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbow
(top exit) or one 90° elbow (rear exit), the following formu-
las apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
Formula 2: H

+ V
T
< 40 feet

for the
required horizontal run H

Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is
unacceptable.

Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unac-
ceptable and a new fireplace location or vent configuration
will need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
