INSTRUCTIONS WHEN OFFSET OF CHIMNEY IS 
NEEDED 
 

Installing offset and return elbow (30E-8DM) 

1.

 

To achieve desired offset, you may install 
combination of 12”, 18”, 24”, 36” and 48” length of 
double wall pipe (see figures 13 and 14). 

2.

 

The chimney weight above the offset rest on return 
elbow.  Straps must be securely fastened to rafters or 
joists (see figure 15, details A & B). 

3.

 

Maximum length of pipe between supports (return 
elbow or chimney support V12S-8DM) is 6’ of 
angled run.  Maximum of two (2) 6’ angled run 
sections per chimney system. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FIRESTOP SPACERS: (FS-8DM) 

 
Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney 
penetrates a floor or ceiling joist space.  Their purpose is to 
establish and maintain the required clearance between the 
chimney and the combustible materials. 
 
They also provide complete separation from one floor space to 
another floor or attic space as required by most codes.  When 
the double wall pipe passes through a framed opening into an 
attic space, the firestop must be place into the attic floor as in 
figure 16. 
 
When the pipe passes through a framed opening into a living 
space above, the firestop must be placed onto the ceiling from 
below as shown in figure 16. 
 

 

                             1 elbow set – 16 to 60 ft. system height, 2 elbow sets – 30 to 60 ft. system height.

Figure 14                  OFFSET CHART 

All pipe connections between 
the offset and return must be 
secured with two screws, 
only on the outer pipe, and 
must not penetrate the inner 
stainless.
