Insulated Adjustable Length (ELA18)

This unique part enables an installer to adjust the system to the exact overall length required for any installation. The most common applications for the adjustable length are: – Between elbows so that any required centre-to-centre offset can be achieved. – When it is necessary to balance the chimney height so that the caps line up for functional or aesthetic reasons. – When a specific horizontal offset is required. The adjustable length must be installed above a straight chimney length. It will not adjust into an elbow or tee. – Adjustable lengths must be installed above a fixed length or they will not be adjustable. If they are installed immediately above a support, tee or elbow they will not adjust. To determine the installed length deduct 1 1/2” from the overall length.

Round & Square Supports (ERDS; ERDSI; ESS)

EXCEL’s ceiling supports are suitable for use on flat or sloping ceilings. They must project into the room a minimum of 3 inches on a flat ceiling. For sloping ceilings, see the table below. These supports are designed to act as a combination of support and attic radiation shield. To use either support as an attic radiation shield, simply close the open area at the top of the support (in the attic) with a storm collar. The finish trims are separate from the supports, allowing for easy installation before or after the ceiling finish is applied. If you are installing a round support on a sloping ceiling, you will require a pitched trim ring. Use the following table to determine the correct trim ring for your installation. Pitched trim rings are not available in 5” Ø. The finish trim which comes with the square support, is ajustable for any ceiling pitch from flat to 24/12. Not available in 5” Ø. Both the round and square support are packaged complete with the flue extension and finish trims. The Insulated Round Support (ERDSI) is designed for installations in energy efficient houses which have tightly sealed vapour barriers. The RDSI is fully insulated and has a flange to permit an air tight seal to the vapour barrier. It can be installed into an existing home but since it must be installed under the drywall it is most often used for new construction.

Support Extension (ERDSE; ESSE)

Support extensions are available to facilitate installations on very steep pitched ceilings, or where the chimney must project unusually far into the room. Both the round and square support extensions are 24” long.

View Technical Specifications

Wall Radiation Shield (EWRS; EWRSI)

The wall radiation shield is used when the chimney passes horizontally through a combustible wall. The EWRS telescopes to adjust for wall thickness, so no painting is required. The inside finish trim is separate from the EWRS, allowing for easy installation before or after the wall finish is applied. The Insulated Wall Radiation Shield (WRSI) is designed for installations in energy efficient houses which have tightly sealed vapour barriers. The EWRSI is fully insulated and has a flange to permit an air tight seal to the vapour barrier. It can be installed into an existing home but since it must be installed under the drywall it is most often used for new construction.

Wall support – Wall Band and Extended Wall Support (EWS; EWSE)

The wall support (EWS) is used to support a vertical chimney on a through-the-wall installation. The EXCEL Wall Support installs on the first length of chimney above the tee, (not below the tee, thus making it easier to fasten the support to framing, instead of into concrete). The Wall Support utilizes the universal band to fit 6, 7, & 8 inch chimneys. It is designed to slide in and out to fit a variety of wall profiles. The Wall Support is also used as a lateral support every 8 feet in height. The Extended Wall Support (EWSE) will allow the chimney to pass by up to a 12” overhang. It often eliminates the need to either offset a chimney around the overhang or cut and finish the soffit and fascia. One support is required every 8’, minimum of two per system. The Old Style Wall Support (EWS-R) is generally more complicated to install than the EWS. However it simplifies installations on irregular surfaces like vinyl siding.

Roof Support (ESR)

The roof support is primarily used when it is difficult to use a round or square support in a cathedral ceiling. It can also be used above an offset, or to provide additional support when the chimney height exceeds the capacity of the primary support. The roof support utilizes a universal band, so that the same support fits 6, 7, & 8 inch chimneys. It is made with adjustable brackets, which allow it to adjust easily to any roof pitch.

View Technical Specifications

Offset Support (EOS)

The offset support is primarily used to re-support the chimney above an offset. However it can also be used to provide additional support when the chimney height exceeds the capacity of the primary support. The offset support straps are 24 inches long.
