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 SKCS8,
TCS8A - 8 inch triple wall) is required
every 6 feet of angled run of chimney.
Chimney supports are required for every
30 feet and 60 feet (SK8 pipe) or 20 feet
and 40 feet (3-wall pipe) of vertical chim-
ney 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.

Notes: G + H cannot exceed 20 feet.

Air Space Clearances: SK8 (2-wall) = 1¹⁄₂" and "S" Series (3-wall) = 2"
