CHIMNEY AND

CONNECTOR

INSTALLATION

Note: These are a generic set of chimney installation instructions. Always follow the manufacturers own instructions explicitly. Check the Minimum Recom- mended Flue Heights section (Table 1).

1)With your location already established, cut and frame the roof hole. It is recommended that no ceiling support member be cut for chimney and support box installation. If it is necessary to cut them, the members must be made structurally sound.

2)Install radiant shield and support from above.

3)Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish support to a minimum height of 3 feet above the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any point within 10 feet measured horizontally. There must be at least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.

Note: Increasing the chimney height above this minimum level will sometimes help your unit to “breathe” better by allowing a greater draft to be created. This greater draft can decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups, back-smoking when door is open, and dirty glass. It might be sufficient to initially try with the minimum required height, and then if problems do arise add additional height at a later date.

4)Slide the roof flashing over your chimney and seal the flashing to the roof with roofing com- pound. Secure the flashing to your roof with nails or screws.

5)Place the storm collar over the flashing, sealing the joints with a silicone caulking.

6)Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if re- quired) to the top of your chimney.

7)For optimum efficiency when installing into a masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e. the 6" (152mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.

INSTALLATION

8)To complete your chimney installation, install the double wall connector pipe from the stove’s flue collar to the chimney support device.

9)If you are using a horizontal connector, the chimney connector should be as high as pos- sible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm) minimum distance from the horizontal con- nector to the ceiling.

10)NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and Alcove installations require a listed double wall connector from the stove collar to the ceiling level.

The diagrams below illustrate one way to install your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizon- tal connector. Check with your dealer or installer for information on other options available to you.
