See graph to determine the re-
quired vertical rise V
T
for the required
horizontal run H
T
.
For vent configurations requiring more than one 45º and
90° elbow the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: H
T
< 4.2 V
T
Formula 2: H
T
+ V
T
< 24.75 feet

Formula 1: H

T
= 4.2 x 4 = 16.8 ft
10.9 < 16.8
Formula 2: H

+ V
T
< 24.75 feet
14.9 < 24.75
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is ac-
ceptable.
