WARNING

DuraTech Chimney system is listed with a
2” minimum clearance (air space) to com­bustibles. Always maintain a minimum of 2”
clearance between chimney pipe and nearby
combustibles. Failure to maintain the minimum
2” clearance to combustibles can result in a
re hazard.

INSTALLATION

The DuraTech Adjustable Length is used
when an exact length of chimney is needed

and standard lengths of chimney are not
sufcient. The Adjustable Length spans from
minimum of 14” to a maximum of 22” and can
be used between any other DuraTech chimney
sections (straight pipe lengths, elbows, tees,
etc.). The Adjustable Length is a telescoping
section of chimney with both male and female
sections (Figure 1). Within the male section
there are 2” wide strips of insulation that can
be removed to allow for a customized length
(Figure 2).
