Note: These are a generic set of chimney installation
instructions. Always follow the manufacturers
own instructions explicitly. Verify the Minimum
Recommended Heights for Fireplace Flue (Table 1 in the
Installation section).
Note: Increasing the chimney height above this minimum
level will sometimes help your unit to “breathe” better
by allowing a greater draft to be created. This greater
draft can decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,
back-smoking when door is open, and dirty glass. It
might be sufficient to initially try with the minimum
required height, and then if problems do arise add
additional height at a later date.
4. Slide the roof flashing over your chimney and seal the flashing
to the roof with roofing compound. Secure the flashing to your
roof with nails or screws.
5. Place the storm collar over the flashing, sealing the joints with
a silicone caulking.
6. Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if required) to the top
of your chimney.
7. For optimum efficiency when installing into a masonry chimney,
size accordingly, i.e. the 6" (152mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.
Step-by-step chimney and
connector installation
1. With your location already established, cut and frame the roof
hole. It is recommended that no ceiling support member be cut
for chimney and support box installation. If it is necessary to
cut them, the members must be made structurally sound.
2. Install radiant shield and support from above.
3. Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish support to a minimum
height of 3 feet above the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any
point within 10 feet measured horizontally. There must be at
least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.
