SSTB11 Woodburning Fireplace
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc., that might complicate the
installation or endanger persons installing or cleaning the chimney. Avoid a location where the chimney cap will be near
abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story
wing of a two story building as shown by
Figure 6
. All these conditions can cause turbulence or pressure conditions
that can cause poor chimney draft and smoke spillage from the fireplace opening. Elbows may be used to offset the
chimney to avoid obstructions or to locate the chimney cap in a preferred location. Refer to the sections of this manual
pertaining to chimney offsets for instructions on proper elbow use. Poor installation or location of the chimney cap and/or
components can cause wind blown rain to enter the chimney.
Be sure the selected location will allow a 17” square combustible material-free space for the chimney to pass through.
If the chimney is to pass through living or storage spaces, be sure there is adequate space to enclose the chimney to
avoid personal contact with, or damage to, the chimney.
