3.5 Minimum clearances from combustible 
materials:  

Make sure the wood basket (see 

drawings 2 and 3) is at least 12" (305 mm) from 
any combustible material, including furniture, 
drapes and other flammable objects.  Note that 
Type X fire-resistant gypsum board (Firecode) is

installations and as such requires the minimum 
12" (305 mm) clearance.

3.6 Exterior doors and windows:

  As much as 

possible, avoid installing the fireplace too close to 
an outside door or window because air turbulence 
and drafts disrupt the chimney draft. 

4.1  Choosing the ceiling support:

 

If you have a 

horizontal ceiling, use the regular Don-Bar 
ceiling support.  For a sloped ceiling, use the 
Don-Bar cathedral ceiling support.

5.1  Wood frame:

 Build a ceiling wood frame of 

17" x 17" I.D. (432 mm x 432 mm) to anchor the 
ceiling support.  The ceiling support long bolts 
are spaced at 18" c/c (457 mm).    Level the frame 
so that the suspended hood will be plumb. 

Note 

that these wood frame dimensions are required 
to fix the ceiling support.  Elsewhere, the 
chimney may require smaller clearances.  See 
t h e   r e q u i r e m e n t s   o f   t h e   c h i m n e y ' s  
manufacturer for more details. 

5.2   Ceiling support fastening:

  Secure the 

regular Don-Bar ceiling support to the wood 
frame  with 4 long bolts at least 3" (75 mm) long 
by 3/8" (10 mm) diameter. 

5.3   Chimney: 

 Start the chimney installation by 

slipping the first chimney section into the ceiling 
support. Be sure the chimney fits well into the 
ceiling support before proceeding with other 
chimney sections.
