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. 7)

•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 inches, you may install a Seneca through the opening using a Òpositive connectionÓ 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 Seneca fireplace installation on Page 10.

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

Wall Pass-Throughs

Whenever possible, design your installation so the connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you must use a wall pass-through in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin and construct it in accordance with local building codes. Also check with the chimney connector manu- facturer for any specific requirements.

Accessories are available for use as wall pass- throughs. If using one of these, make sure it has been tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.

In the United States, the national Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has established guidelines for passing chimney connectors through combustible walls.
