FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Connection of the stovepipe directly into the existing masonry chimney over the fireplace opening is the only approved method. This installation performs bet- ter, yielding easy to clean and inspect for creosote. Before beginning this type of installation plan carefully; a high de- gree of skill is required to insure safety.
An entry port for the stovepipe must be cut through the chimney with minimum damage to the fire clay liner. Some involved measurements may be required to locate the flue liner exactly. Before cutting, take time to mark the size and position of the entry port. Position the entry port so that at least 8 inches of the flue liner remains below the port.
Keep in mind that wood mantels and combustible trim around the fireplace must have adequate clearances from the heater and stovepipe or must be protected in an approved manner. Also, be sure to leave at least 24" clearance between the top of the stovepipe and the combustible ceiling or other com- bustibles. Placing the center of the entry port 2 feet below the ceiling will insure proper clearance for 6 inch, 8 inch, and 10 inch stovepipes. Next, install a fire clay (at least 5/8 in. thick) or metal thimble, being sure that the thimble is flush with the inner flue lining. Secure the thimble in place with refractory mor- tar. The thimble should be surrounded on all sides with 8 inches of brickwork (solid masonry units) or 24 inches of stone.
Install the stovepipe as far as possible into the thimble, but not past the inside of the flue lining. There should be a small air space (approximately 1/2 in.) between the stovepipe and thimble, allowing for expansion of the stove- pipe. Seal this airspace with
Do not vent up through the fireplace opening, regardless of whether the fire- place opening is closed.
MASONRY CHIMNEYS have several positive attributes: If properly built, they are quite durable, and most homeowners consider them more at- tractive perhaps than a
And, if the chimney is located within the confines of the house (that is, not at- tached to an exterior wall), its mass alone will store heat longer and con- tinue to release the heat long after the fire has died. Masonry chimneys have many disadvantages though.
Masonry chimneys constructed on an exterior wall are exposed to cold out- door temperatures, promoting greater heater loss, higher accumulations of creosote, and reduced draft which leads to poorer heater or furnace perfor- mance.
