Using Offsets
•
30° Elbows may be used to offset the chimney (to
align the chimney or gain clearance to combustibles
•
A maximum four 30° elbows may be used
•
Each elbow must be used in conjunction with a
return elbow (so the chimney returns to a vertical
direction)
•
If using a single offset (two 30° elbows) a
maximum of 8' of inclined chimney may be used
between elbows.
•
If using two offsets (four 30° elbows) a maximum
of 4' of inclined chimney may be used between
each set of elbows.
•
For every 6' of inclined chimney a flue support is
required
•
Elbows may be used directly off the top of the
fireplace (maintain a 5" clearance to combustibles
on the back wall, 4 1/2" minimum on the front wall
and header, and 18" minimum to the side walls)
•
The table below details the amount of offset ("X")
and rise ("R") gained from various chimney
lengths when used with 30° elbows. Make sure to
add the amounts for both elbows. Two sections
may be added together to form a combined length.
For example, 12" and 18" Temco chimney sections
give an offset of 17-5/8" (3-7/8" + 5-3/8" + 8-3/8"
= 17-5/8"). The rise ("R") equals 38-1/8" (14-3/8"
+ 9-1/4" + 14-1/2" = 38-1/8").
