ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists
of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel
inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sec
-
tions must be assembled independently as
chimney is installed. When connecting chim
-
ney directly to fireplace, inner flue pipe sec
-
tion must be installed first with lanced side
up. Outer pipe section can then be installed
over flue pipe section with hemmed end up.
Press down on each pipe section until lances
securely engage hem on fireplace starter.
Wire will assure proper spacing between
inner and outer pipe sections.
Note: For Canada, use chimney parts des-
ignated HT.
Opening in collar around
chimney at top of fireplace must
not be obstructed. Never use
blown insulation to fill chimney
enclosure.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as
outlined, making sure that both inner and
outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall snap-lock chimney to
-
gether, it is important to assure joint between
chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking. Chimney will
not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessary to add screws to keep chimney to
-
gether (exception - see Figure 11, page 9).
USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM)
1. To achieve desired offset, you may install
combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and
48" length of double wall pipe (see offset
chart, page 7, and Figure 9).
Note: For systems with 2 elbow sets, mini-
mum height is 22 feet. Maximum height
for any system is 50 feet.
2. Chimney weight above offset rests on
return elbow. Straps must be securely
nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 10,
details A and B, page 9).
3. Maximum length of pipe between supports
(return elbow or 12S-8DM) is 6' of angle
run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections
per chimney system (see Figure 9).
4. All pipe connections between offset and
return must be secured with two screws
on outer pipe only (see Figure 11, page
9). Do not penetrate inner stainless.
