be installed so that the upper pipe section fits inside the lower section. This way the
condensation, creosote or soot building up inside the pipe will stay inside the pipe as it flows down
the inside surface. Horizontal pipe runs should have the pipe seams turned up. Chimney
connectors must not pass through the ceiling, concealed spaces, or enter the chimney in the attic.
If connection is made through a combustible wall a listed and approved wall thimble/pass-through
must be used following the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternative site built pass-through options
are shown below. REMEMBER, that all pipe sections must be connected with at least three sheet
metal screws per joint. A manual or barometric damper is recommended to maintain a chimney
draft between -.03 to -.06 inches of water (inch wc). Draft should never exceed -.06 (inch wc).
