Chimney Height / Rise and Run
This product was designed for and tested on a 6" (152mm)
chimney, 16 feet (4.88m) high, (includes appliance height)
measured from the base of the appliance. The further your
stack height or diameter varies from this configuration, the
possibility of performance problems exists.
Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to
use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea
level or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.
