3.3 Single fan on brick chimney
Step 1: Prepare fan location
y
The installation procedure is the same whether the flue is round or
square. If a
clay tile flue liner is installed, it might stick up a few
inches.
Cut it back so it is
flush with or no more than 1/2‘‘ above
the chimney crown.
y
Measure the inside diameter of the flue, cut a corresponding hole in
the fiber
mat leaving a minimum distance of 3/4” to any side of
the fiber mat.
Step 2: Preparation of fan
y
Locate the installation brackets in the grooves on the underside of
the fan base
using the bolts and nuts supplied to secure the
brackets.
Note that the bolts
shall be installed from the bottom side
in the two inner holes.
y
Adjust the final position of the brackets ensuring that there is
clearance
between the brackets and the flue wall.
If the brackets
touch the wall, it may
generate some vibration noise.
Step 3: Attaching the fan
y
The chimney fan is now ready for installation on the top of the
chimney.
Place
fiber mat on
the top of the chimney, and place the fan on top of the mat.
High
temperature silicone can be applied on the side of the
mat,
but is not required.
It can also be painted. It is not necessary to bolt
the fan to the chimney.
Caution
Under conditions with extremely strong winds surrounding
the top of the chimney, the chimney fan must be secured by
steel wires supplied with the fan.
