DuraVent DuraTech Elbow Kit: two bends to take the chimney around framing

The DuraVent DuraTech Elbow Kit is a pair of chimney elbows with a support strap. One elbow turns the chimney around a rafter or joist. The other brings it upright again. DuraTech is DuraVent’s double wall chimney, an insulated pipe with a 1 inch wall that takes over from the stovepipe at the ceiling or wall and runs up past the roof. Choose a matching 5, 6, 7, or 8 inch diameter and a fixed 15 or 30 degree angle. Each elbow swivels to face the needed direction. Stainless steel is available in every size, and galvalume steel in 6 to 8 inch sizes.

Pipe between the elbows is sold separately. More than one pipe length between them needs a second strap. Sections twist together without screws or bands, though a locking band is optional. A straight chimney needs at least 10 to 15 feet above the stove outlet. The cap must stand 3 feet above the roof exit and 2 feet above anything within 10 feet. Need another support strap? See the DuraVent DuraTech Adjustable Elbow Strap. The DuraVent DuraTech Elbow Kit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

Instructions

Typical Installation

Refer to our Typical Installation drawings to select the appropriate component parts for your installation.

  • DVL/DuraBlack Chimney Adapter must be used when connecting DVL pipe to a Ceiling Support Box or Finishing Collar. When connecting DuraBlack pipe, a DVL pipe to a Ceiling Adapter, DuraBlack Slip Connector, or Snap-Lock Adapter must be used.
  • Wall Thimble must be installed with an appropriate length of chimney pipe for all horizontal through-the-wall installations. To accommodate thicker walls, the telescoping pieces of the Wall Thimble can be separated, and a field-fabricated extension may be installed.
  • Attic Insulation Shield must be used in all installations that pass through an attic, regardless of whether the attic is insulated or not.
  • Firestop Radiation Shield must be used when a chimney passes through a floor or ceiling without a support box.

5 24 planning installationPlanning Your Installation

The following recommendations are general guideline to assist in the layout and selection of the chimney components needed for your installation. Always follow Duravent Installation instructions before installing your chimney system., found with the cap or support box.

    • The diameter of the chimney should match the outlet size of the appliance. An improperly sized chimney results in poor draft and excessive creosote formation.
    • Measure the diameter of the appliance flue outlet. Select the chimney and either DVL or DuraBlack connector stovepipe with the same size diameter as the appliance flue outlet. For fireplace installations, refer to the sizing chart in the back of this catalog.
    • Determine if the installation is a through-the-roof installation or a through-the-wall installation. A through-the-wall installation will require additional components (Wall Thimble, Tee/ Cap, Tee Support, and Wall Straps).
    • Install the chimney in the interior of the structure whenever possible. A cold exterior chimney will produce less draft and will generate more creosote.
    • If possible avoid offsets that serve to restrict the natural draft. A straight vertical installation is more efficient and less likely to develop creosote. If an offset is required to avoid rafters or other obstructions, measure the horizontal distance required and the vertical height available. Both 15° and 30° elbows are available. Elbows have a 360° swivel base to allow orientation of elbow direction only. Elbows are fixed at 15° or 30°. Elbows greater than 30° are not allowed in the United States. A maximum of two offsets in a single installation are permitted. Refer to the offset table in the back section of this catalog. At least one Elbow Strap is required for each offset. Elbow Straps ensure adequate support.
    • Determine the minimum chimney height above the roof line. Building codes require a minimum of 3′ above the roof penetration and at least 2′ higher than any portion of a building within 10′. See figure 1. The termination cap is installed above that point. If chimney extends 5′ or more above the roof penetration an extended roof bracket is required. An additional roof bracket is needed every 5′.
    • Measure the roof pitch. For example a 6/12 pitch has a vertical rise of 6″ over a horizontal distance of 12″. Select the appropriate flashing.
    • Determine the total length of chimney and stovepipe required for the installation. To calculate the installed per length of 5″-8″ DuraTech pipe, subtract 1 ¼” per joint. For 10″-24″ diameter, subtract ¾” per joint of pipe. Subtract 1 ¼” per joint of DuraBlack stovepipe. Subtract 1 ½” per joint of DVL stovepipe. Minimum chimney height, at sea level, of straight vertical chimney is 10′ to 15′ above the appliance outlet. Higher elevations, or the use of elbows or a tee, will require approximately 30% to 60% more height to provide for an adequate draft.
    • For a UL approved shroud, see the DuraTech Shrouds Installation Instructions (L157). View online at www.duravent.com, under catalogs and instructions.
    • Be fire safe. Maintain at least 2″ clearance to combustibles. Follow local building codes and have your chimney inspected by a certified professional.

FAQ

What is in the DuraTech Elbow Kit, and how do I choose the angle and diameter?

You get two matching elbows and one Elbow Strap. On the page, pick the diameter (5 to 8 inches) first, then the outer-wall finish and angle: stainless (SS) in 15 or 30 degrees, or galvalume (GA) in 15 or 30 degrees for 6 to 8 inch sizes. The listed price is the 5-inch stainless 15-degree pair; the other combinations show their price on the selector.

When do I need an elbow kit on a DuraTech chimney?

Only when something is in the way: rafters, a ridgepole or joists. One elbow starts the offset and the second returns the chimney to vertical, which is why they come as a pair. DuraTech allows a maximum of two offsets (four elbows) in one installation, and the straighter the chimney the better the draft and the less creosote it collects.

Can I combine elbows to make a 45 or 90 degree offset?

No. UL 103 does not permit offsets greater than 30 degrees in the United States, and DuraTech elbows are fixed at 15 or 30 degrees. The 360-degree swivel at the base only lets you point the offset in any direction; it does not change the angle. Use the offset table in the DuraTech catalog to see how much horizontal distance each pair gives.

How is the offset supported?

Each offset needs at least one Elbow Strap, which is why one is in the kit. If the chimney run between the two elbows is longer than about 3 feet, add a second Elbow Strap around the middle of that section. Straps or a Tee Support carry the weight of the pipe above so the elbows are not loaded; secure straps to framing with the nails or wood screws the manual specifies.

Do elbows change how much chimney height I need?

Yes. DuraVent’s planning guide says an installation with elbows or a tee needs roughly 30 to 60 percent more height than a straight chimney to draft properly, on top of the normal 10 to 15 foot minimum above the appliance outlet. Elbows are joined with the same twist-lock as the pipe; screws are optional and must not penetrate the inner wall.

Will these elbows work with DuraPlus or DuraChimney pipe?

No. This kit fits 5 to 8 inch DuraTech only; DuraVent does not allow mixing DuraTech, DuraPlus and DuraChimney components. Choose stainless if the chimney is exposed outdoors or you want it to match stainless pipe, and note the stainless outer wall is required for installations in Canada. DuraTech keeps its 2-inch clearance to combustibles through the elbows.
