Note: Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner flue liner face.
Method A. 12 inch (305 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5 inch (90
mm)brick and a 5/8 inch (16 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.
Method B. 9 inch (229 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a 6 inch (152 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation of 1 inch (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through with a minimum 9 inch air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9-inch (229 mm) air space. When fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be flush with the inside of the masonry chimney flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
Method C. 6 inch (152 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024 inch [.61 mm]) 6-inch (152 mm) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble which has two air channels of 1 inch (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass- through. There shall be a minimum 6 inch (152 mm) sepa- ration area containing fiber glass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6-inch (152
mm)space. There should also be a support sized to fit and hold the metal chimney connector. See that the sup- ports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal chimney connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.
Method D. 2 inch (51 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least 12 inches (305mm) long, with insulation of 1 inch (25.4mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8 inches (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6 inch [152 mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with and spaced 1 inch (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support chimney section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney section do not penetrate chimney flue liner.
