Chimney Connection Requirements
The insert must be connected to a code-approved
masonry chimney or listed factory-built fireplace
chimney with a direct (positive) flue connector into
the first chimney liner section. The chimney size
should not be less than, nor more than, three times
greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue
collar.
The optional Jøtul Draw-Down Adaptor Kit
156073 is available to ease connection of the
chimney liner with the flue collar.
A positive connection must be made between
the fireplace insert and the chimney by one of the
following approved methods.
U.S. Only Requirements:
1.
The insert must be connected to a code-approved
masonry chimney with a direct (positive) flue
connector into the first chimney liner section.
2.
The cross-sectional area of the chimney flue may
not be less than the cross-sectional area of the
flue collar..
3.
A sealed block-off plate must be installed at the
damper area of the existing fireplace
, unless
the liner is connected directly to the top of the
chimney. See fig. 8.
4. For internal chimneys,
(no sides of the chimney
exposed to the outside below the roofline,)
a positive connection into the first flue tile is
acceptable provided the tile is no larger than 8” x 12”.
5. For external chimneys,
(one or more sides are
exposed to the outside below the roof line, including
garages), a positive connection to the first flue tile is
acceptable provided the tile is no larger than 8” x 8”.
6. A 6”, 7”, or 8” stainless steel liner, extending the
full height of the chimney, is required
for those
installations where the flue tile is greater than
8” x 12” for internal chimneys, or 8” x 8” for external
chimneys. In such cases, a damper block-off plate is
not required.
Canada Requirement:
The insert must be installed with a continuous chimney
liner of 6” (152 mm) diameter extending from the
fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney
liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing
Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/
ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry
