The first flue offset closest to the top of the
appliance must be a minimum distance of
12" (30.5cm) from the top of the appliance.
Attach an elbow to the chimney section, angled
toward the offset. Secure according to chimney
manufacturer’s instructions. Chimney sections
must be adequately secured one to the other to
ensure they do not separate. To achieve the
minimum offset, attach and secure a second
elbow. To achieve longer offsets, you may install
any available length of chimney pipe between the
elbows. Supports must be used on the first
vertical chimney section after a return elbow.
