THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM (UNITED STATES & CANADA)

Chimney Installation Notes

1.   The IHP fireplace model WCT6920WS may be installed only with 

IHP 6” Snap-Pak chimney in the United States or Security Chimney 

models ASHT & S2100 or DuraVent model DuraTech Canada (DTC)  

in Canada.  The 6” & 7” Security systems are approved in Canada 

with the use of an adaptor. 

2.  If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better perfor-

mance.  In areas with continuous temperatures below -18° C (0° F), 

the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating 

problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up 

characteristics.  Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-draft with 

dry and flow reversal.  Installations-which are located on lower floors 

in the house-such as in a basement, in combination with an outside 

chimney, are especially prone to flow reversal.

3. A chimney venting a fireplace shall not vent any other appliance.
4.  The minimum chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m). To compen-

sate for altitude, add 18” (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2,000 

feet (600 m) above sea level.

5.   

All chimney installations must include at least one support.

  Re-

ducing the amount of chimney weight on the fireplace will help avoid 

the noise created when the fireplace expands.  This can be achieved 

by having the chimney supported by the supports.  The maximum 

chimney length that can be supported by the fireplace is nine (9) feet 

(2.75 m).

6.   The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point 

of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than 

any wall, roof or building within ten (10) feet (3m) of it. 

7.   If the chimney extends higher than five (5) feet (1,500 mm) above its 

point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.

8.   A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install 

a rain cap may cause corrosion problems.

9.   Cut and frame square holes in all floors, ceilings, and roof that the 

chimney will go through to provide a 2” (50 mm) clearance between 

the chimney and any combustible materials.  Do not fill this 2” space 

with insulation or any other combustible material.

10.  Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces 

must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or 

damage to the chimney.

11.  When offsets are used, the pipe may not penetrate a ceiling or floor 

unless it is running vertical (no 30° offsets).

NOTE:

 2” clearance to combustibles around chimney components required.

NOTE:

 Blown or fill type insulation materials must not be in contact with 

the fireplace or in the enclosure frame as described in ‘’Enclosure’’ section.

NOTE:

 Local codes may not require firestopping at the ceiling levels for 

outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and 

the reduction of heat loss.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
