Page 26

NOTE: Wiring for fans must be done before framed enclosure is completed. If using a Heat Zone kit, it also must be installed before enclosure is complete.

•Mark the Exit Point of the Roof

Locate the point where the chimney will exit the roof by plumbing down to the center of the chimney. Drive a nail up through the roof to mark the center. See Figure 26.1.

• Cut Out the Hole in the Roof

Measure to either side of the nail and mark the 14‑1/2 in. x 14-1/2 in. (368 mm x 368 mm) opening required. This is measured on the horizontal; actual length may be larg- er depending on the pitch of the roof. Cut out and frame the opening. See Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for roof framing details.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Must maintain 2 in. (51 mm) air clearance to insulation and other combustible materials.

•Assemble the Chimney Sections Through the

Roof

Continue to add chimney sections through the roof open- ing, maintaining at least a 2 in. (51 mm) air space to com- bustible materials.

• Install the Roof Flashing

If a roof flashing is to be used, install the roof flashing appropriate to the roof pitch and install a termination cap and storm collar following the instructions shipped with the cap.

For chase installations you can use a round termination cap, a round telescoping termination cap or a square termination cap (See pages 62). A chase installation must use a chase top. Chase tops are available from your dealer. See page 14 for building a chase.

• Install the Chimney Air Kit (required in Canada):

When installing the chimney air kit, follow the instructions provided with this accessory. See page 22.

•Completion of the Enclosure

Complete the fireplace enclosure, allowing space for

outside air ducts. Electrical wiring should not come in contact with the fireplace. A minimum clearance of 1 in. (25 mm) must be maintained between the fireplace back and 1 in. (25 mm) minimum clearances to sides and the enclosure.
