INSTALLATION
Horizontal Installation
Standard Ceiling Installation
8) To complete your chimney installation, install
the double wall connector pipe from the stove’s
fl ue collar to the chimney support device.
9) If you are using a horizontal connector, the
chimney connector should be as high as pos-
sible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm)
minimum distance from the horizontal con-
nector to the ceiling.
10) NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and
Alcove installations require a listed double
wall connector from the stove collar to the
ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to install
your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizon-
tal connector. Check with your dealer or installer
for information on other options available to you.
STEP BY STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney
installation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly. Check the Minimum Recom-
mended Flue Heights section (Table 1).
1) With your location already established, cut and
frame the roof hole. It is recommended that no
ceiling support member be cut for chimney and
support box installation. If it is necessary to cut
them, the members must be made structurally
sound.
2) Install radiant shield and support from above.
3) Stack the insulated pipe onto your fi nish support
to a minimum height of 3 feet above the roof
penetration, or 2 feet above any point within 10
feet measured horizontally. There must be at
least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.
Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes help
your unit to “breathe” better by allowing
a greater draft to be created. This greater
draft can decrease problems such as,
diffi cult start-ups, back-smoking when
door is open, and dirty glass. It might be
suffi cient to initially try with the minimum
required height, and then if problems
do arise add additional height at a later
date.
4) Slide the roof fl ashing over your chimney and
seal the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng com-
pound. Secure the fl ashing to your roof with
nails or screws.
5) Place the storm collar over the fl ashing, sealing
the joints with a silicone caulking.
6) Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if re-
quired) to the top of your chimney.
7) For optimum effi ciency when installing into a
masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e. the 6"
(152mm) fl ue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.
