ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists of a
galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue
pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections must be
assembled independently as chimney is installed.
When connecting chimney directly to fireplace,
the inner flue pipe section must be installed first
with lanced side up. The outer pipe section can
then be installed over the flue pipe section with
hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe sec-
tion until lances securely engage hem on fireplace
starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing
between inner and outer pipe sections.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as
outlined above, making sure that both inner and
outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall snap-lock chimney to-
gether, it is important to assure the joint between
chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking. The chimney
will not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessary to add screws to keep the chimney
together (exception, see Figure 9, page 9).

CHIMNEY PIPE
The FMI PRODUCTS, LLC chimney system
consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap-
lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned
for maximum adaptability to individual site
requirements. Actual lengths gained after
fitting overlaps must be taken into consider-
ation (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal
gain chart (see Figure 6). Lineal Gain is the
actual measurable length of a part after two
or more parts are connected. For Canada,
use chimney parts designated "HT".
WARNING: The opening in
the collar around the chimney at
the top of the fireplace must not
be obstructed. Never use blown
insulation to fill the chimney
enclosure.
OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT
(MODEL AK4/AK4F)
The installation of an outside air kit should
be performed during the rough framing of
the fireplace due to the nature of it's location.
Outside combustion air is accessed through
a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a
sidewall (AK4).
CAUTION: Combustion air
inlet ducts shall not terminate
in attic space.
