CHIIMNEY INSTALLATION

INSTALLING CHIMNEY SUPPORTS

Note: For a total fireplace installation of more that 30' feet, you must use chimney support model SCS at or below 30' to support the weight of additional chimney pipe.

To install the chimney support, place the crimped end of the flue and outlet air duct portions into the last section of chimney pipe. Push down until the outside of inlet air duct of the chimney support overlaps and snap locks the chimney support into the chimney section.

Nail the support straps tightly to a building frame member or ceiling joist as shown by Figure 20. Use at least two (2) 8-penny nails per strap.

ELBOW INSTALLATION

The following are important points that should be observed when installing elbows on the fireplace.

1.Securely nail down to the surrounding structure support straps of all elbows not installed directly on top of the fireplace. This allows the support strap to carry the weight of the chimney above the elbow and prevents this weight from breaking the elbow or chimney sections apart.

2.Do not use elbows in any combination that inclines the chimney more than 30° from vertical. See Figure 21.
