Through the Fireplace

If your fireplace opening height is at least 675 mm (26¹⁄₂"), you may install an Encore through the opening using a “positive connection” kit, available from your local dealer. These positive connection kits ensure a tight fit between the stove flue collar and the chimney flue. (Fig. 8)

Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue above or through the fireplace opening, have special clearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel. You’ll find the required safe clearances for Encore fire- place installations on Page 11.

Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace installations. This information is on Page 9.

Wall Pass-Throughs

Whenever possible, design your installation so the con- nector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you are considering a wall pass-through in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin.

Also, check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific requirements.

Accessories are available for use as wall pass- throughs. If using one of these, make sure it has been tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.

Fig. 8 In this installation, the chimney connector enters the firepalce opening and then connects to the chimney.

Figure 9 shows one method of passing a connector through a wall. All combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide the required 457 mm (18”) clearance for the connector. The resulting space must remain empty. A flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers must be used on both sides, each cover must be mounted on noncombustible spac- ers at least 25 mm (1”) clear of the wall.

Your local dealer or your local building inspector can provide details for other approved methods of passing a chimney connector through a combustible wall in your area.

DO NOT CONNECT AN ENCORE TO ANY AIR DIS- TRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
