HIMNEY
THIS FIREPACE INSERT MUST BE INSTALLED
WITH A CONTINUOS CHIMNEY LINER WITH
AMINIMUM DIAMETER OF 6” EXTENDING FROM
THE FIREPLACE INSERT TO THE TOP OF THE
CHIMNEY. THE CHIMNEY LINER MUST
CONFORM TO THE CLASS 3 REQUIREMENTS OF
CHIMNEY LINER STANDARDS CAN/ULC-S635 OR
CAN/ULC- S640
You can install the Clydesdale in a masonry or zero
clearance fireplace. Before installing the stove in a
factory-built fireplace, the fireplace must have the
following characteristics:
1.
Listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.
2.
Include a full height listed chimney liner meeting
type HT requirements (2100° Fahrenheit) per UL 1777
(United States) or ULC S635 (Canada) standards.
3.
The means to prevent room air passage to the
chimney cavity of the fireplace.
4.
Does not disturb the airflow in or within the
fireplace when installed (louvers, or cooling air inlet or
outlet ports must not be blocked).
5.
Not be altered in any way, except for the
following:
a.
External trim pieces which do not affect the
operation of the fireplace can be removed, providing they
are stored on or within the fireplace for re-assembly if the
insert is removed.
b.
The chimney damper can be removed to install
the chimney liner.
6.
Must not have blocked circulating chambers (if
available).
7.
The means for removing the insert to clean the
chimney flue.
8. Have a permanent metal warning label (provided with
the Clydesdale—see illustration to the below) attached to
the fireplace by riveting it to the outside wall, stating that
the fireplace must be restored to its original condition for
safe use without the insert.
Remember, you must adhere to all previously described
floor protection requirements when installing into a zero
clearance fireplace.

WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE FIREPLACE INSERT
TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for
the Clydesdale. The Clydesdale requires a 6" (152 mm)
inside diameter flue for new installations. A 6” diameter
flue provides adequate draft and performance. You can
use an 8" (203 mm) diameter existing flue with a reducer.
An oversized flue contributes to creosote accumulation.
(In this case, bigger is NOT better.)
There are two ways to install a prefabricated metal
chimney:
•
An
interior
installation where the chimney passes
inside the residence through the ceiling and roof.
•
An
exterior
installation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the Fireplace Insert then up
the outside of the residence.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An
interior chimney heats up more quickly and retains its
heat; thus promotes a better draft and discourages the
formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does not
benefit from the warmth of being surrounded by the
building, so it typically operates at lower flue
temperatures than an interior chimney. An exterior
chimney’s draft is not as strong and may experience
increased creosote accumulation.
