CHIMNEY INFORMATIONS
•
Before the hook up of the appliance, inspect the chimney to ensure that it is in good condition and that the
quality of the flue will allow a sufficient draft. For a good combustion, refer to the technical data of the
appliance to know the minimum draft required.
•
Factory built (A) or (L) type chimney is approved for this appliance. The chimney has to be well insulated;
a chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a good draft and condensation will occur.
•
Chimney sections must be of constant diameter. 5" factory built chimney is required An excessively large
diameter will produce too great of a volume, which is more difficult to heat.
•
When the appliance is installed on a masonry chimney witch is often oversize, it’s required to use a
stainless steel liner of 5" diameter inside the existing chimney.
•
The chimney should be no less than 15' high (including appliance pipes). The chimney has to extend no
less than 3' above the point it exits the roof and 2' higher than any roof, or any other obstacles within a
horizontal distance of 10'.
•
CHIMNEY MINMUM HEIGHT :
Height of chimney should inferior than 15’ (4.6
m).

•
CLEARANCES WITH ROOF SUMMIT AND
BUILDING NEARBY :
The chimney flue shall extend at least 2’ (0,6 m)
above the highest roof surface or structure within
10’ (3,0 m) horizontally of the chimney.

CHIMNEY CLEARANCES
•
CLEARANCE FROM ROOFING INTERSECTION:
The chimney flue shall extend at least 3’ (0,9 m) above the highest point at wich it comes in contact with
the roof. ref.: standard B-139 - 4.2.2.11.
YOUR APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN
ADEQUATE DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO ENSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF
THE BURNER
