CHIMNEY INSTALLATION

INSTALLING CHIMNEY SAFETY INFORMATION

You must properly install the chimney to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the fireplace. This is an important part of the installation. Review the Chimney Installation Section thoroughly.

WARNING

For your safety, some of the important things to remember in regard to chimneys are listed below:

•Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this fireplace.

•Use only undamaged parts and accessories.

•Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living spaces to prevent contact with and possible damage to the chimney.

•Install firestop spacers at each ceiling level.

•Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.

•Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.

Note: To select the proper chimney height, see Figures 12 through 16. The flue outlet must be a minimum of 3' above the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of 2' above all portions of the building within ten feet. If the chimney is to include elbows to offset the chimney, see Chimney Offset and Cap Installation Section. There must be at least 2" air space between all sections of the chimney and combustible materials between floors.

Do not extend the chimney more than 90" above the roof without additional support.
