SUPPORT SECTIONS
The chimney support section is a 4" strap
and 12" length of pipe. A chimney support is
required every 30 feet above fireplace after a
straight chimney run or above a return elbow
after a straight chimney run (see Figure 16).
This support is designed to relieve the extra
weight load on firebox and elbows when high
chimneys are installed.
ELBOW OFFSET INSTALLATION
Chimney weight above offset rests on return
elbow. Straps must be securely nailed to
rafters or joists (see Figure 17).
To achieve desired offset, you may install
combinations of 12", 18", 36" and 48" length
of double wall pipe (see offset chart and
Figure 18).
