They are also more stable and easier to maintain than assemblies with elbows. Horizontal runs of flue pipe should be avoided where possible because they reduce chimney draft. Figure 22: Best Figure 23: Acceptable Figure 24: Avoid Page 40 Installation and Operation Manual - Escape 1500... - Page 41 • A straight flue pipe assembly offers the least restriction to gas flow and results in a stronger draft. Straight assemblies also need less maintenance because there are no corners to collect creosote. • The chimney connector must be clean and in good condition.
