Installing the Chimney System
Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar on top of the fireplace.
Install the pipe as pictured in Figure 19. When you get a good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap together. Once sections are
When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap- lock. Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure to always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural framing member. (Fig. 20)
Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must install a firestop spacer.

Installing the Firestop Spacer
in the Ceiling Hole
A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly and required for safety.
Nail the firestop spacer (at each corner) to the framing members of the ceiling hole. Note: A firestop spacer is not required at the roof.
Hole sizes listed in Figure 14 for angled firestop spac- ers provide minimum required air space to chimney pipe for ceiling thickness up to eight (8) inches. When combined thickness of ceiling material, ceiling joists and flooring material exceeds eight (8) inches, adjustments must be made in framing to assure that minimum air spaces to chimney are maintained.
Proper Firestop Spacer Installation
Figure 21 shows different installation procedures for both an area that is an attic and an area that is not an attic.
If the area above the ceiling is not an attic, position the firestop spacer with the flange on the ceiling side and the angled portion extending up into the hole.
If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position the firestop spacer with the flange on the top of the framed hole and the angled portion extending down into the hole.
Firestop spacers are not available for, nor are they required on, vertical walls.
The chimney components (CF11) used on the SHR series fireplaces have been tested and approved with the area where the outer pipe slides through the firestop spacer sealed with a noncombustible caulk if desired, or left completely open with no sealant. This sealing only applies to the SHR series fireplace.
