Vermont Casting 410 Connection Above the Fireplace, Wall Pass-throughs, Requirements

Connection Above the Fireplace

In this installation, the chimney connector enters the fireplace flue through a thimble located above the fireplace. (Fig. 6) The liner of the fireplace chimney should extend at least to the point at which the chim- ney connector enters the chimney. Follow all the guidelines for installing a chimney connector into a freestanding masonry chimney, and pay special attention to these additional points:

The stove and chimney connector clearances to combustible mantel and trim materials are the same as clearances to combustible walls. If necessary, use a combination of mantel, trim, and connector heat shields to provide the required clearances. Refer to Page 12.

Double-check connector clearance to the ceiling.

The fireplace damper must be closed and sealed to prevent room air from being drawn up the flue which could reduce performance. However, it must be possible to reopen the damper to inspect or clean the chimney.

Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace installations.

Fig. 6 If the clearance between the chimney connector and either the ceiling or the mantel is inadequate, a protective heat shield is required.

Whenever possible, design the installation so that the connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you must include a wall pass-through in your installa- tion, check with your building inspector before you begin. Also check with the chimney connector manu- facturer for any specific requirements.

Consult with your dealer regarding special connection components available for use as wall pass-throughs. Use only parts that have been tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.
