INSTALLATION

MASONRY CHIMNEY

For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 10 & 11, (on page 17), it will be necessary to purchase an 8 inch inside diameter, 12 inch long section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.

The safety features of this system are twofold:

1)A 2" air space between the chimney section and combustible wall; and, 2) The 1" air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the chimney section to the chimney.

The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18" vertical clearance between the connector pipe and the ceiling to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.

Measure as shown in Figure A below and cut an opening in the wall large enough to accommodate the outside dimension of the chimney section plus the minimum air space specified by its manufacturer. It may be necessary to cut the wall studs and install a header and a sill frame to maintain the wall support. The hole in the chimney must have at least an 8" diameter fire clay liner or equivalent secured with refractory mortar. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering.

First, make the frame for the thimble, ensuring it is no smaller than 14" square, to maintain a 2" air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame. Then insert the frame into the opening, toe nailing it to the wall studs. Install the wall band in the framing to secure the chimney section in place. Insert a single section of chimney connector into the chimney through the wall band, being sure it does not protrude into the chimney beyond the edge of the chimney flue lining. Apply high temperature furnace cement to the end of the chimney section and install it over the connector, through the wall spacer. Tighten the wall band to hold the chimney section firmly in place and against the chimney. Install the trim collar on the outside of the opening. Check to ensure there is a 1" air space between the connector and the chimney section. During installation ensure that a 2" air space to the wood framing is maintained. Do not fill this space with insulation. Insulation in this air space will cause a heat buildup which may ignite the wood framing.

Add center-line measurement to the depth of your floor protector. Mark this combined measurement at the correct wall location for your installation, maintaining minimum clearance to combustibles, and mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the rear vent flue pipe, as shown in Figure A above.
