For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 3V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
Example 2:

= 16.1 + 4.5 = 20.6 FT
Formula 1: H

< 3V
T

T
= 3 x 4.5 = 13.5 FT
16.1 > 13.5
Since this formula is not met, this vent configuration is unacceptable.
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 40 feet
20.6 < 40
Since only formula 2 is met, this vent configuration is unacceptable and a new fireplace location or vent configuration will
need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
