First, review the Offset Elevation Chart and Figure 39 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 vertical chimney following the instructions for vertical installation.
Measure height to the ceiling from the top of
Step 2. Proceed by using the Straight Up Installation Instructions for cutting and framing ceiling 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 AssemblyOffset elbows install the same as chimney sections. First, snap the inner section INTO the preceding inner section of flue. Check connection 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 ensure proper connection is made.
Return Elbow AssemblyReturn elbows install the same way as round terminations and stabilizers:
Step 1. Hold return elbow over top of last chimney section.
Step 2. Center inner slip section into inner flue
Step 3. Center
Step 4. Pull up slightly on return elbow to ensure locking joint has firmly engaged.
Step 5. Secure support straps to framing members by nailing under tension in sheer (Figure 40 ).

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.
Combustion Air KitsThese appliances are equipped with an outside
After completing the installation of the optional combustion air vent system the actuator arm must be put in service and tested to ensure proper operation before completing any enclosure around the firebox. Failure to do so may result in extensive and costly rework.
Locate the actuator arm along the right side of the appliance firebox opening and refer to Figure 41.
To operate, push the end of the actuator to the left as shown in Figure 41, until it "pops" free of its "locked" position. Pull the actuator forward to open the combustion air door, and push it back to close. To "lock" the combustion air door closed, ensure the actuator is pushed all the way back then push the end of the actuators to the right until the step in the actuator moves behind the appliance front face within the slotted opening.

Operate the actuator through several cycles including the "lock position. Ensuring proper operation and freedom of movement. Return the actuator arm to the locked position.
Gas Line ConnectionInstall a ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) gas supply line through fireplace wall for connection to a decorative gas appliance inside the firebox. Outside, the gas supply line must connect to a gas
CAUTION: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED, LICENSED PLUMBER. MAIN GAS SUPPLY MUST BE OFF WHEN PLUMBING GAS LINE TO FIREPLACE OR PERFORMING SERVICE.
Always plumb gas line installation per local codes. Check all connections with soap suds; leaks will bubble. Never test any gas line connection with a match or open flame.
This provision is intended for connection to a decorative gas appliance incorporating an automatic
