1.....Use.to.increase.the.diameter.of.the.chimney.flue.

2.....The.tapered.increaser.induce.less.pressure.drop.than.the.step.in-

creaser,.but.requires.more.space...It.has.a.15°.side.angle.and.provides.

increases.of.one,.two.or.three.size...The.height.of.the.fitting.varies.

depending.on.the.diameters.to.be.increased.(see.figure 17).

3.....The.tapered.increaser.have.the.same.load.strength.as.a.standard.

from.3°.to.90°.in.horizontal.and.vertical.breechings.of.the.chimney.

system.

4.. .Elbows.are.not.designed.to.take.bending.loads.and.must.be.structurally.

supported.(see.figure 17)...Structural.parts.such.as.posts.or.beams.
