The chimney for the FP16 can be installed with a maximum
of four 45° elbows(in Canada) and four 30° elbows(in
U.S.A.) as shown in Fig. #10.
Installation:
1. NOTE: Install the fi rst elbow and turn it in the required
direction.
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the
required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together
according to the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
If the offset length is made of two (2) chimney lengths
or more, many chimney manufacturers may require that
you use an offset or roof support halfway up the offset. If
penetrating a wall, install a wall radiation shield supplied
by the chimney manufacturer and install according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically and
secure the elbow.
4. Use a plumb bob to line up the centre of the hole with the
center of the fl ue collar on the fi replace. Cut a hole for the
chimney in the ceiling/fl oor. Frame the hole as described
on page 15.
5. Install a fi restop following the chimney manufacturer's
directions.

supporting the offsets. Reminder - The chimney must be
