Connecting To An Existing Chimney

The Clarity may be connected to an existing ma-

sonry chimney by using aSimpson Dura-Vent con-

version kit #934.

With this kit and a 4" flex linner in the chimney the

flue gases exit through the 4" linner and the outside

air comes down the chimney in the space between

the chimney and the linner. This method allows you

to install the Clarity your chimney and still get the

added efficiency provided by direct venting.

The use of an existing chimney as an

air intake is not covered under the ANSI Z21.50-1996. CGA 2.22-M96 test methods and the resulting ITS/WHI product certfication: The code AuthorityHaving Juris- diction must be consulted prior to proceeding.
