Explorer II

D. Chimney Height / Rise and Run

This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch 

(152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (420-480cm) high, 

(includes appliance height) measured from the base of the 

appliance.  The further your stack height or diameter varies 

from this configuration,  the greater the likelihood it may 

affect performance.

Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per 

each 1000 feet above sea level.  It is not recommended to 

use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above 

sea level or when there are other factors that affect flue 

draft.
