ELBOWS (RIE15, RIE30, & RIE45)
Elbows are used to offset the chimney in order to bypass a building obstruction. Two pairs of 15, 30 or 45 degree
elbows (4 elbows total) are allowed per chimney system. There is no limit on the length of chimney between off-
sets however the chimney must be re-supported at regular intervals - see TABLE 4 for support capacities. Note:
45° elbows are approved for use in Canada only. The elbows are attached
in the same manner as the chimney lengths.
See the offset TABLE 7 and TABLE 8 on page 19 for offset dimensions.
1. Place the elbow on the chimney length.
2. Screw the Stainless Steel metal screws (supplied with the elbow)
through the pre-punched holes in the bottom of the elbow and into the
lower length. Be sure to use a metal screw in each pre-punched hole.
The holes in the elbow will not line up with the holes in the chimney sec-
tion.
3. Install a re-support (a wall support, offset support or roof support) above
the return elbow.
WALL BAND (RWB)
The Wall Band is used to secure the chimney to an exterior or interior wall. The recommended maximum length
of chimney between wall bands is eight feet.
1. Choose a convenient location for the Wall Band.
2. Place the band collar around the chimney length at the desired height.
3. Attach the band arms to the collar using the bolts supplied.
4. Attach the band arms to the wall a minimum of #10 X 2" screws through each hole in the support.
5. Tighten the ring and then screw the Stainless Steel metal screws (supplied with wall band) through the collar
and into the chimney casing. Be sure to use a metal screw in each pre-punched hole.
6. Adjust the wall support so that the chimney is at least 2" from combustible materials.
GUY BAND (RGB)
The Guy Band is generally used to secure a chimney above the roof. The maximum length of un-guyed chimney
above the roof is five feet. The maximum length of guyed chimney above the roof is twenty feet. The maximum
length of chimney between guy bands is ten feet. If height greater then ten feet is required above the roof, an engi-
neered support system should be installed.
1. Place the band collar around the chimney length at the desired location. Tighten the ring and then screw the
Stainless Steel metal screws (supplied with the band) through the band and into the chimney casing. Be sure
to use a metal screw in each pre-punched hole.
2. Attach guy wires to the band and to the roof or ceiling using adequate attachments (not supplied). Install the
three guy wires at 120° intervals and tighten them evenly until the
chimney is properly located and secure.
