Wall Pass-Throughs
Whenever possible, design your installation so that the
connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If
you are considering a wall pass-through in your instal-
lation, check with your building inspector before you
begin. Also, check with the chimney connector manu-
facturer 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.
Always adhere to local building codes when installing a
wall pass-through. Figure 8 shows one recommended
method.
All combustible material in the wall must be removed
around the single-wall connector to provide clearance
that is three times the pipe diameter. Any material used
to enclose the opening must be noncombustible.
Figure 9 shows an alternate method in which all com-
bustible material in the wall is cut away to provide the
required clearance that is three times the pipe diameter.
The resulting space must remain empty. A flush-mount-
ed 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 spacers at least 1” (25 mm)
clear of the wall.
NOTE: Do not vent your Intrepid Multi-fuel into a fac-
tory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances
and their chimneys are specifically designed as a unit
for use as fireplaces. It may void the listing or be haz-
ardous to adapt them for any other use.
DO NOT CONNECT AN INTREPID MULTI-FUEL TO
ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
