When planning your fireplace location, the chimney construction and necessary clearances must be considered. The fireplace system
and chimney components have been tested to provide flexibility in construction. The following figures are the minimum distances from
the base of the fireplace.
Minimum overall straight height
Minimum height with offset/return
Maximum height
Maximum chimney length between an offset and return
Maximum distance between chimney stabilizers
Double offset/return minimum height
Maximum unsupported chimney length between the offset and return
Maximum straight unsupported chimney height above the fireplace
1. Using Offsets and Returns
To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be offset using a 30° offset/return (SL1130). Perform the following
steps to determine the correct chimney component combination for your particular installation.
An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney section(s) may be used between an offset and return.
Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 7, dimension “A”
to determine chimney sections required to achieve the needed shift.
After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 1 and find the “A” dimension closest to
distance of shift needed for your installation.
The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension represents the required vertical clearance that is needed to
complete the offset and return.
Read across the chart and find the number of chimney sections required and the model number of those particular
chimney parts.
Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor/ceiling, a firestop spacer must be installed.
The effective height of the fireplace assembly is measured from the base of fireplace to top of starter collar. See Figure 6.

Example:
Your “A” dimension from
Figure 7 is 14½”. Using Table 1 the
dimension closest to, but not less than
14½” is 14
/
” using a 30° offset/return.

It is then determined from the table that
you would need 33” (Dimension “B”)
between the offset and return. The
chimney components that best fit your
application are two SL1112s.
