5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the
adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee. When the wall
support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs. TO
complete the installation, install an insulated tee plug below the wall support.
6- You can start to add chimney sections. We recommend that you also use locking bands to secure all
connections. You will need to secure the chimney to the house using wall bands. Wall bands wrap
around the chimney and then attach to the wall. Install the first one 3 feet above the wall support.
Then, you will need another band for each 8 feet of chimney. Note: if your chimney must be
installed through your soffit, install a roof flashing above and finishing plate below where the
roof is cut. Consult the following section called “CEILING SUPPORT SYSTEM” for more
details.
7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it
passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within
10 feet. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping
legs and draw bands are required.
