The Selkirk CF Sentinel chimney allows offsets but limits them to no more than 30 degrees. Additionally, two pairs of 15 or 30-degree elbows may be used per interior installation. However, the manual strongly recommends installing the chimney within the building in cold climates to prevent operational issues like poor draft and excessive condensation. If installed on an exterior wall, enclosing the chimney below the roofline is advised to protect it from cold temperatures. Given these guidelines, a 6-inch CF Sentinel chimney can be installed outside with an offset to clear a 12-inch roof overhang, as long as the offset does not exceed 30 degrees and follows the required installation practices.

CHART 1 - OFFSET CHIMNEY INSTALLATION When the chimney path cannot be perfectly straight, the need to install a chimney offset must be used when it becomes necessary to offset the chimney in order to clear a joist or an obstacle. The two (2) charts below will assist you in selecting the proper combination of elbow angle and chimney length(s) that will provide the necessary degree of offset within an available height.
