been built at the correct heights; system drafts caused by faulty mechanical systems; adverse weather conditions or any other environmental situations over which the manufacturer has no control.

5)Inspect all fireplace & chimney components for evidence of damage prior to starting installation. Consult your local distributor for replacement parts if necessary.

6)Under no circumstances should you make any adjustments or modifications to the chimney system during the installation procedure. If you do, you are not only liable for negating the warranty, but you could very well cause a serious malfunction of the fireplace. You must follow these chimney instructions.

7)Caution is urged if it is decided to add insulation material to any part of the Grand Meridian Fireplace or Chimney system, be certain that the insulation material is kept at least 2” away from any part of the system. When using insulation or vapor barrier materials, cover with a layer of plywood, particle board or gypsum board to maintain the specified 2” clearance.

8)Air spaces around firebox must remain open. DO NOT fill these open spaces with insulation or packing material of any kind.

Chimney Pipe

The FMI PRODUCTS, LLC chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap-lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken into consideration (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gain chart (see Figure 14). Lineal Gain is the actual measurable length of a part after two or more parts are connected.

WARNING: The opening in the collar around the chimney at the top of the fireplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure.
