INSTALLATION –

Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs







PAGE 14

1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall

pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner flue liner face.

2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or

ceiling.

3. Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to

CAN/CSA-B365.

Method A. 12” (305 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Mem-

ber: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (16

mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-

through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard

Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a mini-

mum of 12” (305 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and

wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry

outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney flue liner but not

past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in

place to the chimney flue liner.

Method B. 9” (229 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:

Using a 6” (153 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak

chimney section with insulation of 1” (26 mm) or more, build a wall

pass-through with a minimum 9” (229 mm) air space between the

outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet

metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to

maintain the 9” (229 mm) air space. When fastening supports to

chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall

of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chim-

ney section shall be flush with the inside of the masonry chimney

flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use

this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.

Method C. 6” (153 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Mem-
ber:
Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (153
mm) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated
wall thimble which has two air channels of 1” (26 mm) each, con-
struct a wall pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6” (153 mm)
separation area containing fiberglass insulation, from the outer
surface of the wall thimble to wall combustibles. Support the wall
thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-gage minimum sheet
metal support. Maintain the 6” (153 mm) space. There should
also be a support sized to fit and hold the metal chimney connec-
tor. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal chim-
ney connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.

Method D. 2” (51 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Mem-
ber:
Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at
least 12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (26 mm) or more,
and an inside diameter of 8” (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6”
[153 mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a
minimum 24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep
solid-pak section concentric with and spaced 1” (26 mm) off the
chimney connector by way of sheet metal support plates at both
ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support chim-
ney section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal sup-
ports. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney section
do not penetrate chimney flue liner.
