INSTALLATION

Note: These are a generic set of chimney in- stallation instructions. Always follow the manufacturers own instructions explicitly (check the Minimum Rec- ommended Flue Heights section).

1)With your location already established, cut and frame the roof hole. It is recommended that no ceiling support member be cut for chimney and support box installation. If it is necessary to cut them, the members must be made structurally sound.

2)Install radiant shield and support from above.

3)Stack the insulated pipe onto your fi nish support to a minimum height of 3 feet above the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any point within 10 feet measured horizontally. There must be at least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.

Note: Increasing the chimney height above this minimum level will sometimes help your unit to “breathe” better by allowing a greater draft to be cre- ated. This greater draft can decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups, back-smoking when door is open, and dirty glass. It might be sufficient to initially try with the minimum re- quired height, and then if problems do arise add additional height at a later date.

4)Slide the roof fl ashing over your chimney and seal the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng compound. Secure the fl ashing to your roof with nails or screws.

5)Place the storm collar over the fl ashing, sealing the joints with a silicone caulking.

6)Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if required) to the top of your chimney.

7)For optimum effi ciency when installing into a masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e. the 6" (152mm) fl ue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.

8)To complete your chimney installation, install the double wall connector pipe from the stove’s fl ue collar to the chimney support device.

9)If you are using a horizontal connector, the chimney connector should be as high as possible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm) minimum distance from the hori- zontal connector to the ceiling.

10)NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and Alcove installations require a listed dou- ble wall connector from the stove collar to the ceiling level.

The diagrams below illustrate one way to in- stall your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizontal connector. Check with your dealer or installer for information on other options available to you.

FACTORY

BUILT CHIMNEY

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufac- turer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft operation.
