ALTERNATIVES FOR WALL PROTECTION

Ceiling Exit - Close Clearance

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the

unit so that the weight is hanging in the center of
the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will
serve as a plumb bob.) Mark the ceiling where
the string is suspended to locate the center of the
chimney hole.

2. After locating the center of the hole, install the

ceiling support box, chimney, flashing, and rain.

3. Install Double Wall Connector and chimney

system per manufacturer’s written operating
instructions. See manufacturer’s list of tested
pipes.

CAUTION: Because of the high efficiency and

low flue gas temperature, freestanding catalytic
heaters connected to masonry chimneys with
oversized flue liners may encounter drafting problems
A positive flue liner (optional) may be necessary to
help draft. A poor drafting chimney may result in poor
performance from the Model 91. This is not a defect
of the Model 91 but a defect in the chimney. This is
not a warranty problem with the Model 91. Contact
dealer for possible solutions for chimney.
