E36/39/42 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Do not combine offsets to create an offset greater than 30 degrees from verti-
cal. This may create a fire hazard since the natural draft may be restricted.
a. To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be offset using a 15-deg or a 30-deg offset/return.
Perform the following steps to determine the correct chimney component combination for your particular
installation.
b. An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney section(s) may be used between an offset and
return.
1) Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 7,
dimension “A” to determine chimney sections required to achieve the needed shift.
2) After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 1 and find the “A” dimension closest to but not less
than the distance of shift needed for your installation.
3) The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension represents the required vertical clearance that is
needed to complete the offset and return.
4) Read across the chart and find the number of chimney sections required and the model number of those
particular chimney parts.
5) Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor/ceiling, a firestop spacer must be installed.
6) The effective height of the fireplace assembly is measured from the base of fireplace to top of starter collar.
See Figure 6.
Example: Your “A”
dimension from Figure 7 is
14-1/2 in.. Using Table 1 the
dimension closest to, but not
less than 14-1/2 in. is
14-5/8 in. using a 30-deg
offset/return. It is then
determined from the table
that you would need 33 in.
(Dimension “B”) between
the offset and return. The
chimney components that
best fit your application are
two SL312s.

* Proper assembly of air cooled chimney parts result in an overlap at chimney
joints of 1-1/4 in. Effective length is built into this chart.
