3. Install the pipe manufacturer's fireplace anchor/base plate by inserting it into the flue collar on the
fireplace. We recommend sealing the joint with stove cement. Secure the anchor plate with stainless steel
screws. If the Anchor Plate will not sit flush on top of the unit, a Pacific Energy "Anchor Plate Spacer"
should be used beween the fireplace and the Anchor Plate. This is due to diferences in the manufacturers
chimney sizes.
4. Assemble the chimney sections so the finished length is resting on the manufacturer's anchor plate 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) #8x½"(12 mm) stainless screws.
5. As per the vent manufacturers instructions, Install the Roof Radiation Shield, Flashing and Storm Collar.
Be sure to maintain the vapour barrier at this point. (Seal securely.)
6. Install any exterior venting - 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
7. Securely attach the rain cap and check the flashing for leaks.

Offset Chimney:
The chimney for the FP30 can be installed with a maximum
of four 45° elbows(in Canada) or four 30° elbows(in U.S.A.)
as shown in Figure 143.
Follow the chimney manufacturer's guidelines for support-
ing the offsets. Reminder - The chimney must be supported
after the first 15' (4.5m) in length.
1. NOTE: Install the vertical chimney section(s) then the
first elbow and turn it in the required direction.
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths (to a maximum
of 4ft. (1.22m)) to achieve the required offset. Lock the
chimney lengths together according to the chimney
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Follow the chimney manufacturers' requirements for the
use an offset or roof support halfway on the offset. If
penetrating a wall, install a wall radiation shield supplied
by the chimney manufacturer and install according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertical and
secure the elbow.
5. Continue Installing the chimney following the chimney
manufacturer's directions including all firestops shields
and flashings.
