Lucent Technologies EST-48 Multiple Terminations, Special Offset Instructions

MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS

If more than one termination is located in the same chase or within the same general proxim- ity, we suggest they should be separated in distance at least 24" horizontally from flue cen- ter to flue center and stacked or staggered vertically at least 18" apart, from the termina- tion of one smoke exit to the termination of another smoke exit (Figure 34 ).

This suggestion is provided in the interest of better operation. If the terminations are located too close to each other, smoke may migrate from one flue into the other.

FTF13 CHIMNEY COMPONENT CALCULATIONS

The minimum installed height of the EST-48 fireplaces system is 15' 6", higher with offsets. The maximum height for the system is 80'.

To determine the number of chimney sections and chimney components required, follow these steps:

1.Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace installation. This distance is measured from the surface the fireplace rests on to the point where smoke exits the termination.

2.Determine the number of chimney compo- nents required, except chimney sections. This would include firestop spacers, stabilizers, roof flashing, etc.

3.The effective heights of various components are:

The Fireplace	=	52	¹⁄₂"
FTF13-12	=	10	1/4"
FTF13-18	=	16	1/4"
FTF13-36	=	34	1/4"
FTF13-CTD termination	=	4"
FTF13-CTDT termination =		12" to 18"
FTF13-CT1 termination	=	12" to 18"
FTF13-CT2 termination	=	15" to 23"
FTF13-S4 stabilizer*	=	3"

*Required for every 30' of vertical chimney and/or 10' of offset chimney.

4.Determine the amount of chimney height required by subtracting the total combined height of all pre-selected components (fire- place and chimney components from the total desired height).

5.Reference the Vertical Elevation Chart and determine the number of chimney sections (quantity and length) required.

SPECIAL OFFSET INSTRUCTIONS

To clear any overhead obstructions, you may offset your chimney system using Security's 30° offset and return elbows. Use two elbows - an offset elbow to initiate the offset and a return elbow to terminate it. A 30° offset elbow, an- gling in any direction, may be the first compo- nent used off the top of the fireplace flue collar.

The offset and return elbows may be attached together, or a section or sections of chimney may be used between, but do not exceed 20' in total length between elbows. If sections of pipe exceed 10' between elbows, a chimney stabilizer must be used at the midpoint (Figure 35 ). The stabilizer support straps must be attached under tension (in shear) to structural framing members above. When two sets of elbows are used, the maximum combined length of chimney used between elbows can- not exceed 20' (see Figure 36 ). Example: If C1 = 10' then C2 cannot exceed 10'.

If an offset exceeds 6' in length, each chimney joint beyond the first 6' of offset to the return elbow, must be secured by a No. 8 x ¹⁄₂" sheet metal screw located at the underside of the joint (see Figure 37 ).

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

A¹⁄₈" diameter hole must be drilled in the chimney joint using a ¹⁄₈" diameter drill. Hole should be drilled in center of joint overlap (see Figure 38 ). Be sure to drill only through the outer chimney casting. Do not puncture the inner flue.

Maximum offset of chimney system is 30° . Two offsets must not be assembled to form a 60° offset. However, two sets of offset and return elbows may be used on a single flue system, provided the total height of the sys- tem exceeds 25'.

Return elbow support straps must be securely attached under tension (in shear) to structural framing members above. Do not substitute a FTF13-30 offset elbow in place of a FTF13-E30 return elbow.

OFFSET CALCULATIONS

Step 1. Use Offset Chart to determine amount of horizontal offset (A) and height (B) for various chimney section assemblies.

Step 2. Use “Height of Chimney Only” column in The Vertical Elevation Chart to determine combinations of chimney used above return elbow to achieve desired heights. Reference Components Effective Height Chart in vertical elevation chart section.

Step 3. Use Elevation Chart as job estimator only. Add necessary firestop spacers and sta- bilizers as required. Firestop spacers must be used as shown in Figures 22 and 23 and stabilizers as shown in Figure 27.
