3. 

Assemble the Wall Support - follow instructions on page 20.   

4. 

Fasten  the  required  chimney  length  to  the  Tee  side  entrance.  The 
horizontal  chimney  section  must  extend  through  the  finished  interior 
wall  by  at  least  4  inches.  In  some  cases  you  may  wish  to  use  an 
adjustable length in combination with a short length for this purpose. 
Attach the flue extension (EX) found in the EWRS box, to the end of 
the horizontal chimney length using the 3 metal screws provided. 

5. 

Fasten a chimney length to the top of the Tee.   

6. 

The  wall  support  should  be  installed  on  the  first  vertical  chimney 
section  above  the  Tee.  Tighten  the  universal  band  locking  bolt  just 
enough to hold the wall support in place.   

7. 

Install this assembly through the hole in the radiation shield. 

8. 

Fasten the Wall Support brackets to the outside wall in a convenient 
location  directly  above  the  hole.  Use  four  #10  x  3"  or  larger  screws. 
Insure that the screws are fastened into a structural member and not 
only to the wall sheeting. If the stud locations do not line up properly 
you may  wish to use a  wall channel  - see  instructions page 24. The 
Wall Support brackets are slotted to allow them to adjust in and out. 
Adjust the brackets so that the chimney is a minimum of 2" from the 
wall  and  parallel  with  it.  Tighten  the  Wall  Support  collar  around  the 
chimney, then secure it using 3 metal screws. 

9. 

Stack the next chimney length in place. Align the vertical seams, this 
will  also  align  the  screw  holes.  Fasten  the  lengths  together  using  3 
metal  screws.  Continue  installing  lengths  until  you  reach  the  roof  or 
until the required overall height is achieved. Many installers prefer to 
screw two or three vertical lengths together in advance because it is 
easier to screw the chimney sections together in the open than when 
they are close to a wall.   

10. 

If the chimney is installed in a combustible chase then a roof radiation 
shield  (ERRS)  must  be  installed  immediately  below  the  flashing  or 
chase  top  and  a  ventilated  flashing  (EVF)  must  be  installed.  See 
drawing on page 22.   

11. 

If  the  chimney  passes  through  the  roof,  cut  a  hole  large  enough  to 
provide  2"  clearance  between  the  chimney  and  the  roof.  Install  a 
radiation shield (ERS) from the bottom to seal the opening. Continue 
installing lengths as required.   

12. 

Install  another Wall  Support  at  8'  intervals.  The Wall  Support  should 
be  adjusted  to  ensure  the  chimney  is  vertical  and  at  2"  (or  more) 
clearance to combustibles.
