The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure
2.4 (A)). The use of two 45 degree elbows (See figure 2.4 (C)) is often preferable to a single 90
degree elbow (See figure 2.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they
result in less horizontal run.
