Air Space Clearances: “S” Series (3-wall) = 2” Min. to Combustibles

illustration key

The following safety rules apply to

offset installations (letters correspond

with illustration above):
A. Height of the chimney is measured

from the hearth to the chimney exit.

EWF36A

Maximum:

50’

Minimum:

Without Elbows

17’0”

With 2 Elbows*

19’0”

With 4 Elbows*

21’0”

b. Do not use more than 4 elbows per

chimney.
Attach the straps of the return (top)

elbow to a structural framing member.
The offset (first) elbow of any pair does

not have straps.

c. The chimney cannot be more than 30˚

(45˚ in Canada) from the vertical plane in

any installation*.
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 TCS8A)

is required every 6 feet of angled run of

chimney. Chimney supports are required

for every 30 feet and 60 feet of vertical

chimney height above the hearth.
Determine the offset distance of your

chimney 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.
