4.0 INSTALLATION

NEVER INSTALL A SINGLE WALL SLIP SECTION OR SMOKE PIPE IN A CHASE STRUCTURE. THE 
HIGHER TEMPERATURE OF THIS SINGLE WALL PIPE MAY RADIATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO COM-

BUSTIBLE CHASE MATERIALS TO CAUSE A FIRE.

TO AVOID DANGER OF FIRE, ALL INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE 

PROVISION OF AIR SPACE CLEARANCE BETWEEN CHIMNEY SYSTEM AND ENCLOSURE. TO PRO-

TECT AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF CORROSION ON THOSE PARTS EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER, WE 

RECOMMEND THAT THE CHASE TOP BE PAINTED WITH A RUST-RESISTANT PAINT.

MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 2" AIR CLEARANCE TO ALL PARTS OF THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM AT ALL TIMES. 

FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THIS 2" AIR CLEARANCE WILL CAUSE A STRUCTURE FIRE. 

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE CHASE TOP, STORM COLLAR AND TERMI-

NATION CAP ARE PACKAGED WITH THESE PARTS.

FIRESTOP SPACERS MUST BE USED WHENEVER THE CHIMNEY PENETRATES A CEILING/FLOOR 

AREA.

THE CHIMNEY MUST BE SOUND AND FREE OF CRACKS. CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY A MINIMUM OF TWICE 

A YEAR AND AS REQUIRED.

NOTE: All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturers installation 
instructions.

This appliance was tested to CAN/ULC S610 and UL 127 Factory Built Fireplace Standards. This appliance 
has met the test criteria for Zero Clearance Installation to Combustible Surfaces and Certifi ed to burn fi rewood 
only. 

Any 8” diameter chimney listed to these standards may be installed. In accordance with these standards, the 
appliance may also be connected to any chimney listed to CAN/ULC-S604 and CAN/ULC-S629 for Canada or 
UL-103HT for the United states.

Installation of all types of factory-built chimney systems is to 
be in accordance with the chimney manufacturers installation 
instructions. An appropriate chimney manufacturers anchor base 
plate and anchor base plate gasket is required in order to initiate 
their system. Use the high temperature gasket, supplied, to 
seal between the anchor plate and the appliance top. Air cooled 
chimney systems are not recommended in colder climates.

Complete installation instructions for Selkirk Ultra Temp Chimney 
for Canada and Ultra Temp Platinum Chimney for USA, refer to: 
www.selkirkinc.com/products/chimney.aspx 

A chimney venting the appliance shall not vent any other 
appliance. The minimum overall chimney height from the top of the 
appliance is 15 feet.  The maximum overall chimney height from the top of the appliance is 34 feet.

Factory-built chimney systems for use in dwellings constructed for three or more families must be enclosed 
above the room in which the appliance is located. This enclosure must have a fi re resistance rating equal to or 
greater than that of the fl oor or roof assembly through which they pass.
The chimney should not be built with an offset angle in excess of 45° in Canada and 30° in USA.
Ensure that minimum clearances are maintained.
Portions of the chimney that extend through accessible spaces must always be encased to avoid personal 
contact with the chimney and thereby avoid damage to the chimney.
The chimney must be supported at a maximum of 20 foot intervals (approx. 200 lbs/20 FT).
