perfoot,withtheupperendofthesectiontowardthechimney.SeeFigure2.3DetailB.

 Toinsure a

gooddraft, the total horizontallength of the connector should neverexceed 8'to 10'

(2.4to 3.04m).In the caseofverticalinstallation, thetotallengthoftheconnector can bemuch

longerandconnectedwithoutproblemtothechimneyattheceilinglevel.

 There should never be

 more than two 90 degrees elbows in the whole connector and chimney

elbow.Alwaysgoupverticallyforatleast2feetfromthefluespigot

beforeusinga90

elbow.

 The connector must not pass through any combustible material, nor may it pass through a

concealedspace(suchasanattic,roofspace,orcloset).Ifpassingthroughawall,ceiling,orintoa
