2 pairs of Elbows in any one chimney system.  

1.  Attach Elbows:

 Attach Elbow to Chimney 

Section or other Elbow by twisting clockwise 

until they lock firmly.  Attach one Elbow to the 

Chimney Section below, and align it for the 

offset.  Elbows for DuraTech have a swivel 

feature that allow for 360º rotation at their base 

for ease of installation.  Refer to 

Table 3

 to 

determine the required offset length and attach 

an appropriate length (or lengths) of Chimney 

Section(s) above the Elbow. 

 Important: 

For each chimney pipe section in the offset 

(between the elbows), there must be an Elbow
