Actuallengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken intoconsideration (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gainchart (see figure 6).ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF THE DOUBLEWALL CHIMNEY SYSTEMEach double wall chimney section is consist of a galvanizedouter pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer.The pipe sections must be assembled independently as thechimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly tothe fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed firstwith the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then beinstalled over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up.Press down on each pipe section until the lances securelyengage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assurethe proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.For Canada, use only chimney parts designated “HT”Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above,making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections arelocked together. When installing double wall “snap lock”chimney together, it is important to assure the joint betweenthe chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimneyupward after locking. The chimney will not come apart ifproperly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep thechimney together (exception – see page 5 figure 9).INSTRUCTIONS WHEN ELBOW OFFSET (30E-8DM)OF CHIMNEY IS NEEDED1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of12”, 18”, 24”, 36” and 48” length of double wall pipe (SEESINGLE OFFSET CHARTAND FIGURE 7).2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow.Straps must be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see figure 8,details a & b).3.
