Installing DampeR / Anchor Plate (MM12AP) for pre-fabricated chimney system
All chimney systems must be installed with an integrated Damper System / Anchor Plate installed on top of the fireplace. Installers are cautioned to put the chimney system together exactly as instructed in the Venting Installation on page 12. Any variations may have serious consequences resulting in an accident or malfunction. If instructions are not followed, the warranty on the product will become null and void.
Apply a 1" thick ceramic fiber blanket (Included) to the bottom of the anchor plate.
Apply balance of gasket cement in a ¼" bead on top of smoke dome approximately 1½" around periphery of chimney hole. Install damper assembly on top of unit pressing damper and insulation blanket into cement (Figure 47). Secure with four 3/16" X 1¾" masonry screws (included).
Secure with four 1/4" x
1" ceramic fiber blanket under Anchor Plate.
1/4" bead of gasket cement
Place chimney adapter onto top of damper plate and center in opening using gasket supplied with adapt- er.
Attach adapter with screws supplied by carefully drilling holes into damper plate.
Attach damper chain stop on center rear of lintel 3” (three inch) vertical from opening using (3) #8 cement fasteners.
Attention: Clearance to combustible construction cannot be reduced during course of construction. For the safe operation of the finished fireplace, these clearances must be followed when building the framework for the chimney system.
Note: The most important aspect of the installation is maintaining the minimum required clearances to combustible materials according to the chimney pipe manufacturer’s recommendations, otherwise a potential fire hazard may occur.
Warning: Do not interchange chimney parts with any other parts except those specifically required by FMI PRODUCTS, LLC otherwise a potential hazardous condition may be created.
