For Installation In Masonry Fireplace Only
masonry direct Connect Installation
This method is less expensive than a full re-line. However,
you'll need to check with your local codes to be sure that this is an
acceptable installation method, as most municipalities require a full
liner. Hearth & Home Technologies also recommends the installation
of a full liner.
The connector pipe must be made of stainless steel and be rated
for use with solid fuel burning appliances.
A steel block-off plate (not supplied) is used to seal off the damper
opening and allow the chimney connector to pass through and extend
beyond the first flue tile.
Kaowool, mineral wool or other non-combustible insulation
is recommended above the plate to reduce the possibility of
condensation.
A chimney cap is recommended to prevent the insulation from
being exposed to rain or moisture.
An external chimney can be no more than two times the cross
sectional area of the appliance flue outlet, or 56 square inches. If
larger, an approved chimney liner of 6 or 7 inch diameter must be
installed. Likewise, an internal chimney can be no more than three
times the cross sectional area of the appliance flue outlet, or 84
square inches. If it is larger, an approved chimney liner of 6, 7, or 8
inch diameter must be installed.

This method is recommended, especially if the existing liner is
damaged beyond repair, or for chimneys that have historically had
low draft or smoke spillage problems. This stainless steel liner, listed
to UL-1777, can be rigid or flexible with a chimney cap and top
sealing plate or flashing installed. Do not mix and match chimney
components. Use only materials or components from the same
manufacturer, that are designed to be used in conjunction with each
other. Follow manufacturer's guidelines for attaching and securing
each venting component.

For direct connect and positive connect
installations, ensure that the liner is

collar.
