*Rating at 100 psi. Sizing based on appliance maximum input rate not actual firing rate. **Do not exceed maximum BTU/HR input rating or maximum oil
GPH input. For multiple venting system applications, add the input for each appliance. Category I gas-fired draft induced systems require a CV-4 or
larger. Category III gas-fired draft induced systems require a CV-5 or larger.
P
ROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING TOTAL EQUIVALENT PIPE LENGTH IN FEET
1. Calculate the total equivalent feet for each type of fitting used in the venting system from the chart below.
2. Calculate the total amount of feet for the straight lengths of vent pipe.
3. Add the equivalent feet for the fitting with the total amount of feet of straight lengths. This will approximate the total
equivalent feet of the vent system.

*Reducer or increaser ratio (d/D) small diameter divided reducer
ratio is d/D = 4/8 = 1/2. To estimate the equivalent foot length for
the fitting, use the smaller pipe diameter for the equivalent length
figure. Example 4" to 8" reducer; the reducer ratio is 1/2 and the
smaller pipe diameter is 4". So, from the chart, the equivalent feet
would be 7 feet. (See Figure 1)
Example: System Pipe Size = 4"
Step 1 Two 4" 90° elbows @ 7 feet each = 14 ft.
Step 2 Ten 2 foot lengths of 4" pipe = 20 ft.
Step 3 Total equivalent feet = 14 ft. + 20 ft. = 34 ft.
