Figure 3-9: (A) Connection into a masonry chimney through an elbow/liner; (B) detailed drawing of masonry
chimney connection.
Note that prior to installation, an inspection from an authority having jurisdiction is required to determine
whether the masonry chimney:
•
Is constructed in accordance with national and municipal building codes.
•
Is in good condition. Note that repairs must be performed on any cracked or missing bricks.
•
Is thoroughly cleaned of any soot or creosote.
•
Is not connected to another appliance such as a furnace, hot water heater, or another fireplace.
•
Has a flue of adequate size for proper installation of the venting.
•
Respects minimum clearances to combustibles.
It is recommended to position the fireplace as close as possible to the masonry chimney to ensure proper
venting. The prefabricated chimney must penetrate at least 3 inches within the masonry chimney before
connecting the liner. Elbows can be used within the masonry chimney, with a maximum deviation of 30
o
in the
United States and 45
o
in Canada. Note: A minimum length of 12 inches of straight chimney is required
from the top of the unit before having an offset.
The installation of the prefabri
cated chimney and the liner must comply with the manufacturer’s instructions.
The following are instructions in installing the venting of the Elegance 42 running through a masonry chimney:
1. Install the anchor plate onto the unit.
2. Position the fireplace to the recommended location.
3. Install the initial prefabricated chimney lengths and elbows.
4. Mark the area where the prefabricated chimney will penetrate the masonry chimney.
5. Remove the fireplace to allow for sufficient space to work.
6. Make a hole to the required size to allow for the prefabricated chimney to be inserted freely in the
masonry chimney. Note that the appropriate firestops need to be installed if running the prefabricated
chimney through a combustible wall.
7. Install the remaining prefabricated chimney components center with the masonry chimney.
8. Align the flange holder of the 6CON connector with the studs facing upwards to the center of the
prefabricated chimney section (elbow or tee) and secure it with three self-tapping screws.
9. Reposition the fireplace to its initial position.
10. Overlap by 1 inch the lower end of the liner in the expanded portion of the 6CON connector and secure
the joint with 3 #8 stainless steel self-tapping screws.
11. From the roof, slide the liner down the masonry chimney until it reaches the upper end of the
prefabricated chimney.
12. Install the upper portion of the 6CON liner connector to the flange holder by aligning the threaded studs
to the holes and complete the connection by tightening the wing nuts.
13. Seal any openings around the prefabricated chimney and the 6CON connector with refractory cement
resistant to high temperatures.
