CONNECTIONTO A MASONRY CHIMNEY

The Napoleon Model NZ6000 may be connected to either a lined or unlined masonry chimney.

IF THE CHIMNEY

IS LINED, the flues

must be made of vitrified clay and be in sizes of 8" square or 8" round (inside diameters) or 8"x12" with a minimum height of 15 feet above the fireplace. Eight inch round flues are recommended. Installation must conform to both national and local code requirements.

IF THE CHIMNEY IS UNLINED, a stainless steel liner

listed to either Standard ULC-S640M in Canada or UL- 1777 in the USA: Liners for New Masonry Chimneys, may be used to connect the fireplace to the chimney. The liner must be continuous from the fireplace to the chimney cap and be installed only per manufacturers instructions. In both cases, the chimney structure must be supported by angle iron anchored into the masonry walls. The allow- able masonry used in chimney construction is 3-1/2" brick, solidly mortared and fully encasing the flue. Ensure there are no leaks.

In no case is the masonry enclosure to be supported by the NZ6000 fireplace. Allow a 1" (one inch) air cavity for expansion.
