C. Using Offsets/ Returns

Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.

An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).

Warning! Risk of Fire! Do not use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause over- heating and fire. Secure offsets vwith screws ( not to exceed 1/2” / 13 mm in length) Secure returns with strapping. Straight chimney sections may be secured with screws. Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.

Measure the shift needed to aVOID the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 8.3.

Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2. The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance needed to complete the offset/return.

Read across the chart to find the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

Figure 8.3 Chimney Offset/Return

Example:

Your “A” dimension from Figure 8.3 is 14 1/2 in. (368 mm). Using Table 8.2 the dimension closest to, but not less than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) us- ing a 30° offset/return.

You determine from the table that you need 34 1/8 in. (867 mm) (Dimension “B”) between the offset and return.

The chimney component that best fits your application is one SL324.
