C. Installing Chimney Components

required: A minimum NFPA 211 required stainless steel liner connector pipe extending to the first flue liner of the existing code approved masonry chimney. To eliminate dilu- tion air in the chimney, seal the damper area of the chimney around the chimney connector.

best: A complete relining of the chimney system with a 6 inch (152mm) diameter listed, stainless steel liner. The liner must be connected to the insert flue collar and extend the entire height of the chimney, terminating slightly above a plate that seals the top of the chimney. All joints should be secured with 3 sheet metal screws. The sections must be attached to the insert and to each other with the crimped (male) end point- ing toward the insert. Figure 15.1.

Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained.

A full reline is required for factory-built fireplace installations in Canada and is highly recommended in USA.

Ovalizing Round Stainless Steel Liners

Ovalizing round stainless steel liners to accommodate the liner passing through the damper region of a fireplace is an allowable and acceptable practice.

Ensure that the ovalization is minimized to the extent required to fit through the damper.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles between spacers.

•ALWAYS maintain specified clearances around venting and spacers.

•Install spacers as specified.

Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent pipe may cause fire.

Air Clearances

To ensure that insulation or any other combustible material does not contact the chimney, a chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches (51mm) of air space clearance around the chimney. A chimney outside the house must have at least 1 inch (25mm) clearance to the combustible structure. Noncombustible fire stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceil- ings. Figures 15.2 and 15.3.
