See graph to determine the required vertical rise V

for the
required horizontal run H

.
For vent configurations requiring elbows, the following for-
mulas apply:

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 unac-
ceptable and a new fireplace location or vent configuration
will need to be established to satisfy both formulas.
