Generated explanation

The illustration shows a wood stove on legs over a brick base, with a vent connector rising vertically from the stove top and turning through a 90° elbow. The near-horizontal connector slopes upward away from the stove at a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot. A dashed circle highlights the elbow joints, with an annotation requiring sections to be connected with three screws. Notes specify keeping the vent length as short as possible and using no more than two 90° elbows.
