Formulas to Know
cfh = Total Btu/h of all appliances (at simultaneous full capacity) ÷ Btu per cubic foot of gasL (ft) = 1.3 × n, where n = number of additional bends or fittings beyond table standardFree area (sq in) = 1 sq in × (Total input, Btu/h ÷ 1,000); minimum 100 sq inFree area per opening (sq in) = 1 sq in × (Total input, Btu/h ÷ 4,000)Free area per opening (sq in) = 1 sq in × (Total input, Btu/h ÷ 2,000)Minimum distance = 32 mm (1¼ in.) from nearest edge of wood memberMinimum slope = 1/8 in. vertical per 12 in. horizontal (1% slope) toward discharge
