Installing the Fireplace Insert Enclosure
CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
For proper draft and best performance, the chimney should extend at least 15’ (4.6m) and not more
than 35’ (10.6m) above the level of the MORSØ Model 5660 STANDARD or Model 5660NA hearth.
The chimney must be properly installed and supported in accordance with the chimney manufac-
turer’s instructions. The enclosure is not intended to support the entire weight of the chimney. Sup-
port components are available from the chimney manufacturer.
If possible, an installation with a straight vertical chimney will provide the best draft and will be easi-
est to clean.
If a straight chimney is not possible due to obstructions, up to four 30° elbows may be used to offset
the chimney around the obstructions. The elbows must be used in pairs in order to return the chim-
ney to vertical after passing the obstruction. The first offset must be at least 8’ (2.5m) above the
Insert hearth.

The chimney installation begins with a base plate or anchor plate mounted to the top of the Fireplace
Insert Enclosure. Before the base plate is installed on the enclosure top, the flexible stainless steel
flue connector (provided with the enclosure) that will connect the Insert to the chimney system must
be attached to the base plate using the four provided sheet metal fasteners. See FIG. 1. Next, in-
sert the anchor plate/flex connector assembly down through
the hole in the top of the enclosure. Use the four provided
sheet metal fasteners to secure the base/anchor plate to
the enclosure top.
Next slide the stainless steel 45° slip connector elbow all
the way onto the stainless flex connector in preparation for
installing the Insert.
