Installation Preparation

LOCATING CHIMNEY

•Survey the planned location for the ﬁreplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc. This could make installation harder. It could also be a hazard for persons installing or cleaning the chimney.

•Do not install where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building. See Figure 4. Any of these conditions may cause turbulence or pressure condition which may create poor chimney draft and smoke spillage from the ﬁreplace open- ing into the home.

•Use elbows to offset the chimney to avoid obstructions or to locate the chimney cap in a better location. See Chimney Offsets Section on pages 18 and 21 for instructions on proper elbow use. Poor installation or location of the chimney cap and/or components can cause wind blown rain to enter the chimney.

•The selected location must have a 15" square combustible material-free space for the chimney to pass through.

•If the chimney is to pass through living or storage spaces, there must be adequate space to enclose the chimney to avoid personal contact with, or damage to, the chimney.
