bead on the lower section.
• Pull on the top of each section as installed to make sure
it is fully engaged and will not separate.
• You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer
than 1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney outer sections
together. Do NOT penetrate inner flue.
• Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every
35 ft (10.7 m).

C. Secure Offset/Return
When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sec
-
tions, they must be locked into position with the screws
(outer only). To prevent the chimney sections from from
pulling apart, the returns and the chimney stabilizers have
hanger straps for securing these parts to joists or rafters.
See Figure 5.4.
* Use # 6 or # 8 sheet metal screw, or larger, no longer
than 1/2 in. (13 mm).
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
• Secure offsets with screws (not to exceed 1/2 in./13 mm
In length).
• Secure returns with strapping.
• Straight chimney sections may be secured with screw
(not to exceed 1/2 in./13 mm In length) at the joints.
