When a fireplace is installed in a chase or on an outside wall, enclosure should be treated like any outside wall in a home. Insulation should be installed on the inside wall as well as the outside wall(s). In a chase, it is also a good idea to install a firestop at the first ceiling level above the fireplace and enclose the chase with sheet- ing material. Insulation may then be installed above sheeting material to assure the space around the fireplace is totally protected. (Fig. 2)
When installing the chimney, DO NOT caulk between outer pipe and firestop. It is vital that some air be allowed to flow through this very thin gap.
CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING A FIRE- PLACE IN AN INSULATED ENCLOSURE, BE SURE ALL REQUIRED AIR SPACES ARE MAINTAINED. (Page 12, Fig. 17)
