SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE
For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 14A & 14B on page 14, it will be necessary to purchase a 12” (305mm) long 8" (203mm) inside diameter, section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.
The safety features of this system are twofold: 1) A 2" (51 mm) air space between the chimney section and combustible wall; and, 2) The 1" (25mm) air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the chimney section to the chimney.
The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18" (457mm) vertical clearance between the connector pipe and the ceiling (or minimum recommended from pipe manufacturer) to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.
