G. Assemble Chimney Sections

Attach the first chimney section or offset onto the top of the fireplace (Figure 8.4). Sheet metal screws are required to connect Chimney Section to Anchor Plate. Continue to add additional sections of chimney as needed. Use a Wall Strap every eight (8) feet of chimney height. For each additional Chimney Section use (4) sheet metal screws provided, to make a secure connection between the chimney sections (Figure 8.5). Do not penetrate the inner liner of the chim- ney.

H. Supplementary Support and Stabilizer

If additional support is needed, install one or more Sup- plementary Supports which can each support 25-feet of chimney (Figure 8.6). Clamp the Supplementary Support band around the pipe using the nut and bolt provided, and anchor the support to nearby building framing. Always maintain the 2” clearance to combustibles from the chim- ney pipe. A Stabilizer is available and may be required by some fireplace manufacturers to keep the chimney verti- cal and help maintain clearances to combustibles within a chase. Clamp the Stabilizer to the pipe using the nut and bolt provided, and secure lets to nearby framing using the plumber’s tape or guy-wires ( Figure 8.7). Note: the Stabi- lizer does not support the weight of the chimney, it is only used to keep chimney centered within a chase.
