WOODSTOVE FLUE

Simple rules on draft. See Table 1.

1)At sea level minimum height is 12' (3.7m) straight.

2)Add the following vertical height to compen-

sate for:
45 deg. elbow	= 1 ft. (.3m)
90 deg. elbow	= 2 ft. (.6m)
"T"	= 3 ft. (.9m)

Each foot of horizontal run = 2 ft. (.6m)

3) Add 4% overall for each 1000' (3.5m) above		Recommended Flue Height
sea level.		Elevation	Example a)	Example b)
Example: a)		0' (0m)	18' (5.5m)		21' (6.4m)
		1000' (305m)	18.72' (5.7m)		21.84' (6.7m)
1-1/2 ft. of horizontal run	= 3 ft. (.9m)	2000' (610m)	19.44' (5.9m)		22.68' (6.9m)
one "T"	= 3 ft. (.9m)	5000' (1524m)	21.60' (6.6m)		25.20' (7.7m)
Total Addition (at sea level)	= 6 ft. (1.8m)	8000' (2438m)	23.76' (7.2m)		27.72' (8.5m)
Example: b)
One 90 deg. elbow	= 2 ft. (.6m)
2 ft. of horizontal run	= 4 ft. (1.2m)
one "T"	= 3 ft. (.9m)
Total Addition (at sea level)	= 9 ft. (2.7m)
