the chimney Tee with the Tee Support as
detailed in the full DuraPlus HTC installation
instructions. Continue to install the remainder
of the chimney system as described in those
installation instructions.
Step 6. Ensure CAS system has access to
outside air. The CAS system needs to have
access to outside air for the stove to use. If
the chimney is unenclosed on the outside of
the home, no steps are needed to provide air.
The outside portion of the CAS Wall Thimble
has air-inlet openings to provide air to the
stove. However, if the chimney is enclosed in
a chase, the chase needs to have ventilation
to supply air for the CAS system. This opening
can be provided by the Chase Air Intake with
Rodent Guard (Fig 12) or by a small opening
in the chase that provides a minimum of 12
square inches of free area (opening can be
louvered or covered with mesh screen).
Step 7. Continue to install remainder of the
chimney system according to the complete
