Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run

Cut and Frame Roof Hole

Continue attaching pipe sections to complete system to next level always being careful that the pipe is firmly snap locked in place before proceeding to next pipe section.

Chimney Supports

If chimney supports are required, they are installed the same as elbows. Nail chimney support straps to ad- jacent structural framing, as shown in Figure 8, Page

8.Bend straps as necessary and make sure they are

secure so they will support the weight of the chimney. A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" long when installed. Consider this dimension when determining how many straight chimney sections are needed.

Note: Chimney supports are generally used in long runs in a chase installation.

Additional Ceilings

If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps required for first ceiling installation. Refer to firestop illustration in Figure 21.

Penetrating the Roof

Run pipe to roofline. Since chimney system must be vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved termination.

If a chase is used, refer to the installation manual pro- vided with the termination cap.

Locate Chimney Centerpoint on Roof

Use same procedure detailed in locating center point of the flue system.

Drive a nail up through roof at the center point. This will determine center point on outside of the roof.

Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney termi- nation installed. Refer to installation instructions pro- vided with the chimney termination to find correct size roof hole.

There must be a 2" (52 mm) air space between out- ermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent combustible surfaces. (Combustible surfaces include burnable materials such as: ceiling members, joists, flooring, combustible insulation and roof structures.)

WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

Mark an outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint of the nail. NOTE: Hole dimensions given in the chim- ney top installation instructions are horizontal dimen- sions; therefore, the hole size must be marked on the roof accordingly.

Cover the opening of the installed chimney so debris cannot get into the system.

Cut and frame the hole. It is good practice to use fram- ing lumber that is the same size as the rafters. Install the frame securely because the chimney top and flash- ing anchored to the frame must be able to withstand heavy winds.

Install Remainder of Chimney Sections

Since you have already preplanned the height of your termination according to the Ten Foot Rule, continue to install pipe to the predetermined height.

Check the chimney top installation instructions for details on how high above the roof top the chimney sec-

tions (all pipes) should extend.

Installing Top Housing or Termination

Follow the installation instructions provided with the chimney termination you have selected.

Vermont Casting gas fireplaces, including the SHR42A, SHR36, SHR48, and SHR52 models, stand out for their construction quality and innovative technologies. These models are designed to provide not only warmth but also aesthetic appeal, making them an attractive addition to any home.

The SHR series features a variety of sizes to accommodate different spaces, with the SHR36 being the smallest at 36 inches, while the SHR52 is the largest with a 52-inch dimension. These options allow homeowners to choose a model that best fits their room size and heating needs. Each unit prides itself on powerful heating capabilities, efficiently distributing warmth through advanced heat exchanger systems.

One of the standout features of these fireplaces is their use of high-quality cast iron construction. This material not only adds durability but also enhances the fireplace’s ability to retain and radiate heat. As a result, users experience effective and consistent heating, ensuring comfort during colder months.

The Vermont Casting SHR models incorporate state-of-the-art gas burning technology, including dual-flame ports and easy-adjust controls. This technology allows for precise flame adjustment, enabling users to set the ambiance they desire. Additionally, the fireplace's realistic flame presentation creates a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of traditional wood-burning fires.

Another significant characteristic of the SHR series is the option for customization. Homeowners can choose from various decorative front options, styles, and finishes, allowing for a tailored look that blends seamlessly with their existing décor. The cast iron grates and multiple log options enhance the realistic appearance of the fireplace, making it a striking focal point in any room.

Safety features are integral to the design of these fireplaces. With a sealed combustion system, the SHR models ensure that gases are safely vented outside, minimizing the risk of indoor air pollution. The glass doors are tempered, offering extra protection while still allowing for an unobstructed view of the flames.

In terms of efficiency, the SHR series is designed with energy-saving technologies that maximize heat output while minimizing gas consumption. This efficiency not only lowers utility costs but also makes these fireplaces a more environmentally conscious heating option.

In summary, the Vermont Casting SHR42A, SHR36, SHR48, and SHR52 gas fireplaces offer a unique combination of elegance, efficiency, and exceptional heating capabilities. Their durable construction, advanced technology, and customizable features make them a choice that enhances both comfort and style for any home.
