 It is recommended that the maximum horizontal offset should
not exceed 20% of the total length of the chimney.
 All offsets should be supported above and below with the
appropriate support component i.e. ceiling, joist, wall or roof
support.
 It is recommended that a vertical run of at least 600mm should
be allowed immediately above the appliance prior to any
change of direction.
 To allow for expansion as the stove heats up, it is important
that the weight of the flue system is not carried by the
appliance. If the chimney is built from the stove upwards then
the flue lengths must be raised by 3-5mm before the supports
are fixed. A common practice would be to use small
combustible packers (eg. folded cardboard) placed in the flue
spigot to sit the first length or adaptor on. When the stove is lit
these will burn away while the fire-cement sets.
 Twin wall lengths are designed to be assembled without the
use of any jointing compound.
 If black twin wall flue is used straight off the stove then it is
important that the full length of the adaptor tail is recessed into
the flue spigot. This may require the adaptor tail to be cut
down.
