That's what happens when you don't have the reference in front of you
W2VJN's Type 4 stubs (page 34) - keeps 21 MHz out of 7MHz -
1/4 wave 21 MHz open ended and 1/2 wave 21MHz shorted teed -
this puts shorts on 21MHz while resonant (low loss) on 7Mhz.

W2VJN's Type 5 stubs (page 36) - nulls 7 MHz passes 21MHz -
a) 1/4 wave 21Mhz teed off of transmission line - the other end of the
1/4wave stub is teed again; this second tee has b) 1/4 wave 21MHz
open-ended stub as well as c) 0.41 wave 21MHz (0.1365 7MHz)

Thinking about that logically, it appears it would still pass 40 meters to
me.
The reactance of a 30 degree shorted stub is the same but opposite sign as a
60 degree open stub. The result would be a parallel resonant circuit on 40,
which would also appear as an open on 15 meters.
I don't see how that would reject 40 at all.
I have ran the stub impedances to get exact values, but off the top of my
head I can't see why that would null 40. It should pass both 15 and 40.
