Chimney
Installation
Listed Chimney and Chimney Connector
This appliance must be installed with a 6"(150mm) chimney
system approved under the following standards: CAN-ULC S629(IN
CANADA) AND UL 103HT(IN U.S.).
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF
ALL CHIMNEY COMPONENTS.
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS
SPECIFIED IN THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURERS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
USE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS, CAPS, FLASHING
AND SHIELDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHIMNEY
MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL
GUIDELINES ONLY.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE FLOOR,
WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
NOTE: FOR ALL CHIMNEYS, YOU MUST USE THE
MANUFACTURER'S FIREPLACE ANCHOR PLATE.
NOTE: The FP16 must be installed so the outlet of the chimney
system is a minimum 15ft(4.6m) in height as measured from
the base of the unit.
NOTE:
Longer chimney lengths and different pitch fl ashings
may be used. All other parts indicated can be installed (see
Figure 8, Page 14). Install all components to the chimney
manufacturer's installation requirements. Consult your
chimney supplier for installation advice.
1. After locating the desired location and framing in the
fi replace, cut and frame square holes in all fl oors, ceilings,
and roof that the chimney will pass through. Use a plumb
bob to line up the holes. The chimney support is mounted
to the framing.
2. Maintain a minimum 2"(51mm) clearance between the
chimney and any combustible materials. Do not fi ll the
space with insulation or any other combustible material.
3. Install the pipe manufacturer's,
fi replace anchor plate
by inserting it into the fl ue collar on the fi replace. We
recommend sealing the joint with stove cement. Secure
the anchor plate with stainless steel screws.
4. Assemble the chimney sections so the fi nished length
is resting on the manufacturer's adapter and protruding
through the roof. Avoid having joints between the ceiling
and the roof. It is required that the chimney connections
be secured with three (3)-#8 x ½"(12 mm) metal screws.
5. Install the radiation shields, fi restops and all pieces
necessary to prevent contact with combustible materials
whenever passing through fl oors, ceilings or attic spaces.
6. Install the roof support then assemble the fl ashing and
the storm collar. Be sure to maintain the vapour barrier
at this point. (Seal securely.)
7. Attach the rain cap and check the fl ashing for leaks.
8. If the chimney extends more than 5'(1.5m) above the point
of contact with the roof, then it must be secured using roof
braces.
Chase/Enclosure
WARNING: Combustible materials cannot be used in the
space directly above the fi replace. Do not fi ll the space
above the fi replace with any material. (except the wood
framing)
WARNING: The fi replace must not be in contact with any
insulation or loose fi lling material. Cover the insulation with
drywall panels around the fi replace.
WARNING: Drywall materials are considered combustible
and theIr thickness must be accounted for in your framing
dimensions.
If the chimney runs up the outside of the residence, we
recommend it be enclosed in a chase structure. The chase
should be constructed in such a way that it is an extension of
the home. It should be well insulated between the footings and
the fl oor of the home to prevent heat loss. We also recommend
to insulate the ceiling of the chase just as if it were in the attic
space. This will prevent cold air from dropping down through
the chase and into the room where the fi replace is installed.
Some local codes require that the walls be insulated, vapor
sealed and sheathed with a fi re rated gypsum board. We
strongly recommend this procedure for all installations to
prevent cold drafts from originating in the fi replace enclosure.
If you follow this procedure, do not insulate the wall directly
above the front of the fi replace.
NOTE: Check local codes concerning installation requirements
and restrictions in your area.
