A special piece called the “thimble sleeve,” slightly smaller in diameter than standard connector and most thimbles, will facilitate the removal of the chimney connector system for inspection and cleaning. Thimble sleeves should be available from your local dealer.

To install a thimble sleeve, slide it into the breech until it is flush with the inner flue wall. Do not extend it into the actual flue passage, as this could interfere with the draft.

The thimble sleeve should protrude 1-2” (25-50mm) into the room. Use furnace cement and thin gasketing to seal the sleeve in place in the thimble. Secure the chim- ney connector to the outer end of the sleeve with sheet metal screws.

Above A Fireplace

In this installation, the chimney connector rises from the stove, turns ninety degrees, and goes back into the fireplace chimney. (Fig. 7) 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 installing a chimney connector into a free- standing masonry chimney, and pay special attention to these additional points:

•If there is a combustible mantel or trim, check the stove and chimney connector clearances. Use the necessary combination of mantel, trim, and connec- tor heat shields to provide the required clearances.

•Double-check connector clearance from the ceiling.

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

Through A Fireplace

If your fireplace opening height is at least 23” (584 mm)*, you may install a Resolute Acclaim through the open- ing using a “positive connection” kit available from your local dealer. These kits provide a secure connection between the stove flue collar and the chimney flue. (Fig.

8)If it is necessary to reverse the flue collar from the

top exit to the rear exit position, follow the directions on Page 10.

Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue above or through the fireplace opening, have special clearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel. You’ll find the required safe clearances for Resolute Ac- claim fireplace installations on Page 11.

Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace installations. Floor protection is discussed on Page 9.

Wall Pass-Throughs

Whenever possible, design your installation so the con- nector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you are considering a wall pass-through in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin.

Also check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific requirements.
