1.
Install the first elbow. Turn it in the required
direction. ACBI
*
: To lock it in place, turn 1/8
of a turn. Fasten the straps attached to the
elbow to the surrounding frame, using nails
or drywall screws. ASHT+
*
and S2100+
*
:
Fasten it to the chimney with three (3) 1/2"
metal screws, provided with the elbow.
2.
Install the necessary chimney lengths to
achieve the required offset. lock the chimney
length together. It is recommended to use
three (3) metal screws. If penetrating a wall,
use a wall radiation shield.
3.
Use another elbow to turn the chimney
vertically. ACBI
*
: lock it to the chimney.

and S2100+
*
: Fasten it to
the chimney with three (3) 1/2" metal screws,
provided with the elbows.
4.
Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of the
hole. Cut a hole for the chimney in the ceiling.
Frame this hole as described previously.
5.
From below, install a firestop (
refer to
Figure
27
)
. ASHT+
*
and S2100+
*
: A support must
be used after the offset.
6.
Continue with the regular installation.
