3.Cut or frame a hole through the outside wall for the installation of the air inlet hood. A 6-1/2" diameter hole is required. Feed the loose end of the flexible duct through the hole and attach to the collar on the air inlet hood using two (2) screws from the kit's hardware package. Insert the hood into the opening. Secure the inlet hood in place with nails driven through the holes in the flange. Seal with noncombustible waterproof silicon type caulking.

Steps 6 - Install Air Gate Kit

(Required on All Indoor Instlaltions. When an Outside Air Kit is installed, see assembly steps on Page 6).

Install the Air Gate Kit per the instructions provided with kit and on Page 6 (see Page 23 for ordering information).

Step 7. Outside Air Kit (provided)

(Required on All Outdoor Instlaltions) Install the Outside Air Kit per the instructions provided with kit and on Page 7.

Step 8. Route the Class 0 metallic air duct per the instructions on Page 8.

Step 9. Cut or frame a hole through the outside of the enclosure for the installation of the duct inlet hood per the instructions on Page 8.

INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Step 1. Before continuing, check the operation of the damper, as described on Page 5, (refer to Figure 3).

Step 2. Using standard construction framing techniques, construct opening for chimney route up through the ceiling(s) and roof or through an outside chase.

Framing must maintain adequate minimum air space clearance at all times.

CAUTION

Allow minimum 1"* chimney air space to insulation and building materials throughout vertical or offset chimney installation.

ATTENTION

Permettez à minimum 1 pouce* espace aérien de cheminée à l’isolation, aux matériaux de construction et aux membres encadrants dans toute la verti- cale ou excentrez l’installation de cheminée.

A minimum 1"* air space must be reserved for clearance to insulation and construction materials extending for any continuous length surrounding the chimney.

*Note: 2" air space to insulation and construction materials required in Outdoor Installations when system height is less than 15 feet (see Table 2, Page 4).

In Canada, the chimney and outer wrapper require a minimum 2" air space to insulation and construction materials.

Reference Figures 19 & 20 and charts Framing Dimensions for Ceiling and Roof, which specify minimum ceiling and roof dimensions.

Innewconstruction,todeterminechimneycenter line, use plumb line from roof or ceiling above fireplace to center of flue collar on fireplace.

For remodeling, plumb to center of flue collar from ceiling above, drive nail through ceiling from below to mark position, then mark and cut to passage from above ceiling (around nail) (see Figure 28). Then plumb from ceiling or roof level directly above hole which has just been completed.

Step 3. Position appropriate firestop spacer at ceiling and nail temporarily with two (2) 8d nails. Use flat firestop spacer, Model F8FS, if chimney penetrates ceiling vertically. If chimney penetrates ceiling at 30° angle (offset chimney), use 30° firestop spacer, Model F8FS30. Use one nail on opposite sides to hold firestop spacer in position. Nail permanently, using at least two (2) more 8d nails, after chimney sections have been assembled through the firestop spacer and after any necessary adjustments have been made. Firestop spacer must be secured by at least four

(4) 8d nails when completely installed.

Notes:

Indoor Installations: If there is a room above ceiling level, firestop spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If an attic is above ceiling level, firestop spacer must be installed on top side of ceiling joist (Figures 29 & 30).

Outdoor Installations: If patio installation requires that a chimney passes through a roof or room above, be sure to comply with all local building codes.
