MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY
REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNEC-
TOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
AND USE.
Use only 6˝/152mm diameter chimney with
UL 103 HT (USA)or ULC-S629 (CDN) listing. Chim-
ney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to
2100°F/1149°C. Use chimney from only one manufac-
turer. Never mix brands. Carefully follow the chimney
manufacturer’s stated requirements and clearances.
Use the chimney manufacturer’s attic guards, roof
supports, flashing and fire stops when passing through
a ceiling. Use a listed wall pass-thru when passing
through a combustible wall. Do not use makeshift com-
promises during installation. Never use a single-wall
connection pipe as a chimney!
When using a pre-existing chimney, have its condi-
tion and installation inspected before using. Make sure
that the chimney meets all of the UL rating requirements
listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chim-
ney is UL 103 HT/ULC-S629 rated.
NOTE: It is recommended that you contact a
licensed heating and cooling contractor (consult your
local yellow pages) for chimney installation.
Manufactured chimney with the proper required
UL/ULC listing is available from most home centers,
hardware stores, and HVAC supply stores.

ers’ information on-line. See, www.duravent.com,

VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert an
existing fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe connec-
tion to an existing masonry chimney requires more
work than using a prefabricated chimney. The existing
fireplace must be closed and sealed at the damper with
high-temperature caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace ce-
ment. Prior to installation, clean and inspect the existing
flue and smoke shelf. Installation should be designed
so the system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning
and inspection.
Before conversion, make sure the
existing chimney is structurally sound, the chim-
ney incorporates a flue liner and make sure it is in
good condition. (A flue liner consists of clay tile that
protects the brickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does
not have a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined by a
professional.
Do Not use a chimney that is unlined
or damaged!) If you have any question regarding the
condition of the chimney, consult a qualified licensed
contractor, qualified engineer, competent mason, cer-
tified Chimney Sweep, or a knowledgeable inspector.
Consult your insurance company if you cannot find a
qualified expert.
