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 EXCEL installation manual. 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.

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.
