Harman Stove Company R7R1 Exception Wood Fireplace manual Masonry DirectConnect Installation

For direct connect and positive connect installations, ensure that the liner is securely connected to the insert flue collar.

Tile Liner

Steel Plate

Exception F200 Wood Insert

Masonry DirectConnect Installation

This method is most commonly used because it is less expensive than the other methods. A steel block-off plate is used to seal off the chimney and allow the chim- ney connector to pass through and extend into the begin- ning of the tile flue liner. If the steel plate is impractical because of some odd fireplace construction, fiberglass insulation may be packed around the chimney connector.

To seal the flue from the living space of the home, if this is the method used, a chimney cap is recommended to prevent the fiberglass from being exposed to the rain.

If the masonry chimney flue cross-sectional area is greater than 3 times that of the insert which is 28.27 sq. in. it is recommended that a positive connect installation be used.

Chimney Cap

Masonry Positive Connect Installation

This method is recommended when the tile linner is damaged beyond repair or the chimney has historically had low draft problems. The liner listed to UL-1777 can be rigid or flexible with a chimney cap and top sealing plate installed
