flue outlet
Figure 14
NOTE:
Flue outlet should be 2’ above all
portions of the building within 10’. The
chimney must not extend more than 90”
above the roof without additional support.
3. Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living spaces to prevent contact with and possible dam-age to the
chimney.
4. Install firestop spacers at each ceiling level.
5. Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris into the
chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.
6. Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.
NOTE:
To select the proper chimney height, refer to
Figure 1
. The flue outlet must be a minimum of three feet above
the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of two feet above all portions of the building
within ten feet. If the chimney is to include elbows to offset the chimney, refer to the Chimney Offset and Cap Installation
section of this manual. There must be at least two inches air space between all sections of the chimney and combus-
tible materials between floors.
1. Lay out, cut and frame openings through all ceilings and the roof at the point where the chimney will pass through.
Unless the chimney is to be offset, the point where the center line of the chimney will pass through the ceiling and
roof can be determined with a plumb line as shown by
Figure 15
. The fireplace should be located in the planned
installation position. After the center line is established and a nail is driven to mark the point, the opening can be
cut if you are satisfied with the chimney location relative to ceiling and roof joists and/or any other obstructions. The
roof opening center line should be marked by driving a nail through the roof from underneath that will penetrate the
roof and can be located from the rooftop. If the chimney is to penetrate a pitched roof, the hole in the roof must be
rectangular instead of square and should be sized according to Table1.
2. Install the firestop spacer as required from beneath the ceiling unless the space above is attic space. In an attic, the
firestop spacer should be installed at the floor level of the attic. You must have joists or headers on all four sides of
the spacer and use a minimum of four 8-penney nails to secure the spacer.
3. To install the “S” series chimney sections, insert the male end of the flue, the smallest diameter pipe, into the flue
outlet of the fireplace and press down until the snap locks engage. Continue the process, adding the chimney sec-
tions on top of each other until the chimney is at least six inches above the roof opening on all sided. As the chimney
sections are installed, check each joint to make sure it is properly locked to the previous section. If additional strength
of the outer pipe joints is desired, you may use two or three sheet metal screws placed through the area where the
outer pipes overlap one another. To install these screws, drill a 1/8-inch diameter hole through the chimney sections,
taking care not to penetrate the inner flue pipe.
WARNING:
Be very careful when drilling the holes into the outer
pipe. The drill must not penetrate the inner stainless steel pipe.
