ular operation because the unit uses out-
side air for combustion, not room air.
2) Multiple Terminations.
stall more than one chimney in the same
chase or within the same general area, we
suggest that their terminations be separat-
ed by at least 16 in. (410 mm) horizontally
and 18 in. (460 mm) vertically.
separation is to prevent smoke migrating
from one chimney to another.

Offset Chimney Installation

Chimney elbows may be used in the installation
of the system. A maximum of four 45 degree
elbows are allowed. This may be achieved by
combining 30 degree and 15 degree elbows
together if necessary and allowed by the
chimney manufacturer. Offset angles of 45,
30 and 15 degrees are allowed with a maxi-
mum of 2 offsets.
1) Install the fireplace and chimney as de-
scribed above. When you require an
elbow, proceed as follows:
2) Install the insulated elbow. Turn the elbow
to the required direction and fasten it with
screws or locking bands depending on
flue design as specified by the manufac-
turer.
3) Turn the chimney lengths clockwise to lock
them together, then secure them with
screws at each joint or locking bands; see
the manufacturers requirements.
4) Use another elbow to return the chimney
to vertical.
5) Install an offset
support in the joist
at the ceiling. Re-
support
each offset; el-
bows are not de-
signed to carry the
weight of the flue
system.
