when the chimney is not enclosed.  

3.  Attach Chimney: 

Place the first Chimney 

Section over the flange on the Anchor Plate 

with the arrows pointing up.   Drill 1/8-inch 

diameter holes through the outer sleeve of the 

Chimney Section which match the location of 

the corresponding holes in the Anchor Plate.  

Secure the Chimney Section to the Anchor 

Plate with #8 self-tapping sheet metal screws.  

4.  Finish Chimney:

 Install the rest as directed 

in the Ceiling Supported Installation section, 

Steps 4 through 10.  Refer to 

Figure 1

 and 

Table 4

 for chimney height requirements.  

Always maintain at least 2 inches of clearance 

to combustible materials, and enclose the 

chimney where it passes through occupied 

areas.  Use a Wall Strap for every four feet  of 

chimney height.
