Chimney Supports

If chimney supports are required, they are installed the same as elbows. Nail chimney support straps to adja- cent structural framing, as shown on, Page 7, Figure

8.Bend straps as necessary and make sure they are

secure so they will support the weight of the chimney. A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" (64 mm) long when installed. Consider this dimension when determining how many straight chimney sections are needed.

NOTE: Chimney supports are generally used in long runs in a chase installation.

Additional Ceilings

If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps required for first ceiling installation. Refer to firestop illustration on Figure 17.

Penetrating the Roof

Run pipe to roofline. Since chimney system must be vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved CFM Corporation termination.

Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run

Continue attaching pipe sections to complete system to next level always being careful that the pipe is firmly snapped locked in place before proceeding to next pipe section.

Use same procedure detailed in locating centerpoint of the flue system.

Drive a nail up through roof at the center point. This will determine center point on outside of the roof.

Cut and Frame Roof Hole

Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney termination installed. Refer to installation instructions provided with CFM Corporation chimney termination to find correct size of roof hole.

There must be a 1¹⁄₂ (38 mm) air space between out- ermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent combustible surfaces. (Combustible surfaces include burnable materials such as: ceiling members, joists, flooring, combustible insulation and roof structures.)

WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

Mark an outline of the roof hole around the center of the point nail. NOTE: Hole dimensions given in the chim- ney top installation instructions are horizontal dimen- sions; therefore, the hole size must be marked on the roof accordingly.

Cover the opening of the installed chimney so debris cannot get into the system.
