Connection Above the Fireplace

In this installation, the chimney connector enters the fireplace flue though a thimble located above the fire- place. The liner of the fireplace chimney should extend at least to the point at which the chimney connector enters the chimney. Follow all the guidelines for install- ing a chimney connector into a freestanding masonry chimney, and pay special attention to these additional points:

•Check the stove and chimney connector clearances to combustible mantel and trim materials. If neces- sary, use a combination of mantel, trim, and connec- tor heat shields to provide the required clearances.

•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.

Connection Through the Fireplace

If your fireplace opening height is at least 21¹⁄₂" (546 mm), you may install a stove through the opening us- ing a “positive connection” kit available from your local dealer. These kits provide a secure connection be- tween the stove flue collar and the chimney flue.

Confirm that the stove location is within the required clearance specifications for the mantel and surrounding fireplace trim. Refer to Page 12.

Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace installations. Refer to Page 9.

Wall Pass-throughs

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 instal- lation, 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.
