DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

UL 103 HT Chimney must be used from the first ceiling or floor penetration to the chimney cap.

Use 6" diameter type UL 103 HT chimney from one manufacturer (do not mix brands) or code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.

Chimney must be fastened to each adjoining section.

Follow the chimney manufacturer's clearances and requirements.

Use the chimney manufacturer's fire stops, attic guards, roof supports, and flashings when passing through a ceiling

No more than 180o of elbows (two 90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and chimney).
