3. 

Cut or frame a hole through the outside wall 

for the installation of the air inlet hood.  A 
6-1/2" diameter hole is required.  Feed the 
loose end of the fl exible duct through the 
hole and attach to the collar on the air inlet 
hood using two (2) screws from the kit's 
hardware package.  Insert the hood into the 
opening.  Secure the inlet hood in place with 
nails driven through the holes in the fl ange.  
Seal with noncombustible waterproof silicon 
type caulking.

Steps 6 - Install Air Gate Kit 

(Required on All Indoor Instlaltions. When 
an Outside Air Kit is installed, see assembly 
steps on 

Page 6).

Install the Air Gate Kit per the instructions 
provided with kit and on 

Page 6

 (see

 

Page 23 

for ordering information).

Step 7.

  

Outside Air Kit (provided)

(Required on All Outdoor Instlaltions)

Install the Outside Air Kit per the instructions 
provided with kit and on 

Page 7

.

Step 8. 

Route the Class 0 metallic air duct per 

the instructions on 

Page 8

.

Step 9.

 Cut or frame a hole through the outside 

of the enclosure for the installation of the duct 
inlet hood per the instructions on

INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Step 1.

 Before continuing, check the operation 

of the damper, as described on 

Page 5

, (

refer 

to 

Figure 3

)

.

Step 2.

 Using standard construction framing 

techniques, construct opening for chimney route 
up through the ceiling(s) and roof or through 
an outside chase.

Framing must maintain adequate minimum air 
space clearance at all times.

Figure 28

A minimum 1"* air space must be reserved 
for clearance to insulation and construction 
materials extending for any continuous length 
surrounding the chimney.

*Note:

  

2" air space to insulation and construc-

tion materials required in Outdoor Installa-
tions when system height is less than 15 feet 
(see 

Table 2, Page 4).

In Canada, the chimney and outer wrapper 
require a minimum 2" air space to insulation 
and construction materials.

Reference 

Figures 19 & 20 

 and charts Framing 

Dimensions for Ceiling and Roof, which specify 
minimum ceiling and roof dimensions.

In new construction, to determine chimney center 
line, use plumb line from roof or ceiling above 
fi replace to center of fl ue collar on fi replace.

For remodeling, plumb to center of fl ue collar 
from ceiling above, drive nail through ceiling 
from below to mark position, then mark and 
cut to passage from above ceiling (around 
nail) (

see 

Figure 28

). 

Then plumb from ceiling 

or roof level directly above hole which has just 
been completed.

Step 3.

 Position appropriate fi restop spacer 

at ceiling and nail temporarily with two (2) 8d 
nails. Use fl at fi restop spacer, Model F8FS, if 
chimney penetrates ceiling vertically. If chimney 
penetrates ceiling at 30° angle (offset chimney), 
use 30° fi restop spacer, Model F8FS30. Use one 
nail on opposite sides to hold fi restop spacer in 
position. Nail permanently, using at least two (2) 
more 8d nails, after chimney sections have been 
assembled through the fi restop spacer and after 
any necessary adjustments have been made. 
Firestop spacer must be secured by at least four 
(4) 8d nails when completely installed.

Notes:

 

Indoor Installations: 

 If there is a room above 

ceiling level, fi restop spacer must be installed 
on the bottom side of the ceiling. If an attic is 
above ceiling level, fi restop spacer must be 
installed on top side of ceiling joist (

Figures 

29 & 30

).

Outdoor Installations: 

 If patio installation 

requires that a chimney passes through a roof 
or room above, be sure to comply with all local 
building codes.

       CAUTION 

Allow minimum 1"* chimney air 
space to insulation and building 
materials throughout vertical or 
offset chimney installation.

       ATTENTION 

Permettez à minimum 1 pouce*

cale ou excentrez l’installation
