Measure height to the ceiling from the top of
fireplace-dimension "B." Use Offset Elevation
Chart to find dimension "A." Mark point where
you will drive your nail to show the center point
for your offset ceiling cut.
Step 2. Proceed by using the Straight Up Instal-
lation Instructions for cutting and framing ceil-
ing and roof openings.
Note: See Framing and Dimension Chart for the
sizes of the ceiling and roof openings. The size
B
of the roof opening varies with the degree of
pitch of the roof.
OFFSET ELBOW ASSEMBLY
Offset elbows install the same as chimney
sections. First, snap the inner section INTO the
preceding inner section of flue. Check connec-
65 "
(1657mm)
tion by pulling up slightly to ensure a tight fit.
Next, the outer sections snap lock OVER the
preceding outer section of chimney. Again,
check outer section by pulling up slightly to
ensure proper connection is made.
RETURN ELBOW ASSEMBLY
Return elbows install the same way as round
terminations and stabilizers:
Step 1. Hold return elbow over top of last
chimney section.

same function as a stabilizer. Consider this
when determining the need for a stabilizer.
Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any
subsequent chimney section following return
elbow assembly when installing. Ensure that
each subsequent chimney section is securely
attached by testing as noted above.
