B. Offsets/Returns
• Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.
• An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).
WARNING!
Risk of Fire! DO NOT
use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause
overheating and fire. Secure offsets with screws ( not to exceed 1/2” / 13 mm in length) Secure returns with strapping.
Straight chimney sections may be secured with screws. Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.
• Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 4.2.
• Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 4.3. The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in
Table 4.3 represents the required vertical clearance needed to complete the offset/return.
• Read across the chart to find the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

Proper assembly of air-cooled chimney parts result in an overlap at chimney joints of 1-1/4 in. (32 mm). Effective
length is built into this chart.
