All chimney systems must be installed with an integrated
Damper System / Anchor Plate installed on or in the fireplace.
Installers are cautioned to put the chimney system together
exactly as instructed and shown in chimney manufacturer’s
guide. Any variations may have serious consequences
resulting in an accident or malfunction. If instructions are not
followed, the warranty on the product will become null and
void.
If installing a Damper/Anchor Plate Combination
see steps
41 thru 44
41. Apply a 1/4” bead of gasket cement around the base of
the Anchor Plate as shown in Figure 54. Apply a 1” thick
ceramic fiber blanket to the gasket cement.

Apply balance of gasket cement in a 1/4” bead on top of
smoke dome approx. 1-1/2” around periphery of chimney
hole. Install damper assembly on top of unit pressing
damper and insulation blanket into cement. Secure with
four 1/4” X 1-14” masonry fastener.
42. Place chimney adapter onto top of damper plate and
center in opening using gasket supplied with adapter.
43. Attach adapter with screws supplied by carefully drilling
holes into damper plate.

If installing a Damper Plate only
as shown in
Figure 56

an Optional Damper Support Kit obtainable from MFI.
An
Anchor Plate will still be required for metal flue
connection. If using Masonry Chimney consult your
local codes.

Attention:
Clearance to combustible construction cannot be
reduced during course of construction. For the safe operation
of the finished fireplace, these clearances must be followed
when building the framework for the chimney system.
Note that the most important aspect of the installation is
maintaining the minimum required clearances to combustible
materials according to the chimney pipe manufacturer’s
recommendations, otherwise a potential fire hazard may
occur.
Warning:
do not interchange chimney manufacturer’s parts
with any other parts except those specifically required by
the chimney manufacturer’s recommendations otherwise a
potential hazardous condition may be created.
Attention:
When choosing a Chimney System it must meet
the following requirements:
Designed for installation in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Standard and UL 103.
Meets the requirements of NFPA 211.
Designed in accordance with ICC Codes.
Assuming you have sections of vertical pipe that are more than
10’ (ten feet) measuring between elbows, you must insert – at
midpoint – a chimney stabilizer. When installing the stabilizer,
pull out the support straps with a good amount of tension and
hammer to the frame.
