INSTALLING OFFSETS
First, review the Offset Elevation Chart and Figure 40 for reference.
Step 1. Determine the offset distance where chimney is to pass through the first ceiling- dimension “A.” To find this point on your ceil- ing, first determine the center point for a verti- cal chimney following the instructions for ver- tical installation.
Measure height to the ceiling from the top of
Step 2. Proceed by using the Straight Up Instal- lation Instructions for cutting and framing ceil- ing and roof openings.
Note: See Framing and Dimension Chart for the sizes of the ceiling and roof openings. The size of the roof opening varies with the degree of pitch of the roof.
Offset Elbow Assembly
Offset elbows install the same as chimney sections. First, snap the inner section INTO the preceding inner section of flue. Check connec- tion by pulling up slightly to ensure a tight fit. Next, the outer sections snap lock OVER the preceding outer section of chimney. Again, check outer section by pulling up slightly to

Note: The return elbow assembly performs the same function as a stabilizer. Consider this when determining the need for a stabilizer.
Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any subsequent chimney section following return elbow assembly when installing. Ensure that each subsequent chimney section is securely attached by testing as noted above.
CHIMNEY 30° OFFSET THROUGH FLOOR
OR CEILING
It may be necessary to assemble the chimney at 30° when passing through the floor or ceiling area. Use the
Attic Space
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
CONSIDERATIONS
Combustion Air Kits
Use combustion air kit, Model
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air to the fire for combustion. Only one combus- tion air duct on the left side of the fireplace is necessary if installed (Figure 44 ).
Provision for
Outside Air

If additional length of duct is necessary, pur- chase locally available U.L. Class 0 or Class 1 metallic duct. The duct may extend up to 50'
ensure proper connection is made.
Return Elbow Assembly
Return elbows install the same way as round terminations and stabilizers:
Step 1. Hold return elbow over top of last chimney section.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
The combustion air damper should be fully open when the fireplace is in use and fully closed when the fireplace is not in operation to prevent outside air from entering your home.
