Illustration Key

The following safety rules apply to offset installations. (The letters correspond with letters above):

A.Height of the chimney measured from the hearth to the chimney exit at top:

 

CR36L/R Series

Maximum:

90’0”

Minimum:

 

Without elbows

14’ 0”

With 2 elbows

15’ 0”

With 4 elbows

21’ 0”

B.Do not use more than four elbows per chimney.

Attach the straps of the top elbows to a structural framing member.

The first elbow of any pair does not have straps.

C.The chimney cannot be more than 30° from the vertical plane.

D.The maximum length of the angled run of the total chimney system is 20 feet. (G plus H cannot exceed 20 feet)

E.A chimney support (Model SKCS8) is required every 6 feet of angled run of chimney. Chimney supports are required at 30 feet and 60 feet of chimney height above the hearth also.

Determine the offset distance of your chim- ney arrangement from the centerline of the fireplace to the centerline of the chimney where it is to pass through the first ceiling.

NOTE: This offset distance may not be your full offset distance. See Examples 2 and 3.
