NSTALLATION
Read the RIS Chimney installation manual concerning requirements for supports,
bracing, anchors, etc. It can be found online at: www.icc-rsf.com/en/installation-
instructions-model-ris-canada-and-usa. Refer to Table 1 (F) for the maximum chimney
height that can be supported by the top of the fireplace.
WARNING: THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE CHIMNEY AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
MUST BE 2" OR MORE. DO NOT FILL THIS AREA WITH INSULATION.
WARNING: IF INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE IN CANADA, PLEASE REFER TO THE
“CANADA ONLY” SECTION FOR REQUIRED PARTS.
Cut and frame the required holes in the floor(s), ceiling(s) and roof where the 1.
chimney will pass through. The rough opening in the framing is 18" square (the
opening can be slightly bigger, up to 18 ½", but NEVER smaller).
At each floor where the chimney passes through, you must install a radiation shield 2.
(RM-12RRS2).
2.1.
Start by locating the shorter circular shield and remove the screws that attach
the ring at one end. Keep the ring and all the screws; you will need to reinstall
it later.
2.2. Locate the firestop plate and bend the two tabs downwards so they extend
through the circular cutout. Insert the shorter circular shield through the
firestop plate. It will extend below the firestop plate and rest on the bent end.
2.3. Install this portion of the radiation shield from below into the framed opening.
2.4. Install some chimney lengths so that the chimney extends at least 24" above
the floor structure.
2.5. From above, you can now install the taller circular shield. Drop the end with
the outside bead into the previously installed portion of the radiation shield.
The taller circular shield should rest on its bead.
2.6. From below, re-install the ring that was removed from the small circular
shield.
If you are doing an installation in the United States, reinstall the ring below
the cylinder. Make sure to use all the screws.
If you are doing an installation in Canada, please refer to the "Canada Only"
to determine if and when you should reinstall the radiation shield ring.
2.7. Use the two self-tapping screws provided with the radiation shield to screw
through each tab of the firestop plate and into both circular shields.
At the attic level, install a radiation shield as explained above and a storm collar as 3.
shown in Figure 13.
WARNING: A RADIATION SHIELD MUST BE INSTALLED AT EACH FLOOR WHERE THE
CHIMNEY PASSES THROUGH.
