A special piece called the "thimble sleeve," slightly smaller in diameter than the standard connector and most thimbles, will ease the removal of the chimney connector system for inspection and cleaning. (Fig. 6) Thimble sleeves should be available from your local dealer.

Fig. 7 The thimble, made of either ceramic or metal, must be cemented in place securely.

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 that could interfere with the draft.

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

Above the Fireplace

In this installation, the chimney connector rises from the stove, turns ninety degrees, and goes back into the fireplace chimney. 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:

•Check the stove and chimney connector clearances to combustible mantel or trim materials. Use the necessary combination of mantel, trim, and connec- tor heat shields to provide the required clearances. (Fig. 8)

•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 re-open the damper to inspect or clean the chimney.

Fireplace Installations -

Through the Fireplace

If the height of your fireplace opening is at least 30” (762mm), you may install a Sequoia through the opening using a “positive connection” kit available from your local dealer. These kits ensure a tight fit between the stove flue collar and the chimney flue.

Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue above or through the fireplace opening, have special clearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel. You will find the required safe clearances for Sequoia fireplace installation on Page 10.

Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace installation. Be sure to review the floor protection requirements on Page 8.
