INSTALLATION NOTES

1.  The chimney is intended for use with solid, liquid, 

and gaseous fuel burning appliances.

   Allowable flue gas temperature:

       Maximum continuous 650°C (1200° F)

       Brief forced firing 760°C (1400°F)

       Tested to 1150°C (2100°F) - 30 minutes

2.  The maximum height of chimney supported by the 

various DuraVent supports are outlined on page 

3.

3.  The supports described in this booklet should only 

be used with 6” or 7” factory built chimneys.

4.  Size the chimney in accordance with the appliance 

manufacturer’s instructions.

5.  A chimney servicing a fireplace or an incinerator 

shall not serve any other appliance.

6.  The chimney shall extend at least 3 ft above its 

point of contact with the roof and at least 2 ft higher 

than any wall, roof or adjacent building within 10 

ft of it.

7.  The maximum height of an unguided chimney 

above the roof is 5 ft. If the chimney extends more 

than 5 ft. above the roof, a Roof Brace 

(XRSU)

 

must be used.

8.  The clearance between single wall pipe and un-

protected combustible material must not be less 

than 18” (see National Building Code) except: The 

distance between the vertical stove pipe and the 

ceiling may be less than 18” and will be established 

by the finish support.

9. Portions of the chimney which may extend through 

accessible spaces shall be enclosed in all cases 

to avoid personal contact with the chimney and 

damage to the chimney.  Except for installation in 

single and two-story family dwellings, the enclo-

sure must have a fire resistance rating equal to or 

greater than that of the floor or roof assemblies 

through which they pass.

10.  Do not fill the 2” space around the chimney with 

insulation or any other material.  Insulation placed 

in this area could cause adjacent combustibles to 

overheat.

11.  Self tapping screws are not required, but may 

be used to reinforce the connection and avoid 

accidental unlocking of chimney lengths. Use 

only 1/2” self-tapping screws. Do not penetrate 

       WARNING 

The clearance between the chimney and combustible
material must not be less than 2".  Do not fill this area 
with insulation.

the inner wall of the chimney.

12.  If needed, when penetrating the building 

envelope  the gap between the outer layer of 

chimney and any firestop or wall thimble can 

be sealed using high temperature rated (600°F) 

silicone caulking.

13. The safe operation of a factory-built chimney 

assembly is based on the use of parts supplied by 

the manufacturer. The performance of the assembly 

may be affected if the combination of these parts 

is not used in actual building construction. 

14. All interior portions of the chimney must be ac-

cessible for inspection and cleaning.
