3.2 Chimney Installation
The Elegance 42
is approved with a 6” chimney that is listed under the UL
103 / ULC S629 standards (refer to Table 3-1). WARNING: Mixing
chimney components from different brands is a safety hazard and will
void the warranty on the unit.
When connecting the unit to an existing
chimney, thoroughly inspect the condition of the chimney and that the
installation conforms to the requirements of the chimney manufacturer and
the building codes.
Note that to avoid any unnecessary risk, it is often
recommended to replace the chimney system. Always respect the
clearances to combustibles from the chimney manufacturers; a minimum
clearance of 2 inches is usually required for prefabricated chimneys.
3.2.1 General Rules and Guidelines
1. Carefully read the instructions from the chimney manufacturer prior to
installation
(manuals can be obtained from the chimney manufacturer’s
website or from the vendor). Unless specified, follow the chimney
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.
2. For optimal performance of the unit, it is recommended to install the
chimney system in an interior setting. To prevent drafting issues and
creosote buildups, avoid exterior installations of the chimney system in
regions that experience extreme cold conditions.
3. The minimum and the maximum height of the chimney from the base of
the unit are 15 and 35 feet respectively.
4. A minimum length of 12 inches of straight chimney is required from the
top of the unit before having an offset.
5. Only chimneys approved under the UL 103 / ULC S629 standards can
be installed onto the unit (refer to Table 3-1 in Section 3.2.2).
6. A 6 inch anchor plate is required to connect the fireplace to the chimney
system. The anchor plate can be secured onto the unit with 4 self-
tapping screws.
7. The chimney installed onto the unit cannot be connected to another
appliance.
8. Enclose any portion of the chimney that extends to accessible spaces.
9. The clearance of the chimney to any combustible material cannot be
less than 2 inches; the 2 inch clearance cannot be filled with insulation
or any non-combustible material.
10. At least one support is to be incorporated in any chimney installation.
11. A firestop is required in the joists/frames where the chimney goes
through (ceilings, floors, walls, and attic).
12. A vented flashing is required, unless otherwise specified by the
chimney manufacturer, as well as a roof radiation shield in the
installation of the Elegance 42.
13. To prevent drafting issues, avoid deviations wherever possible.
14. The chimney shall extend at least 3 feet above its point of contact with
the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any wall, roof, or adjacent
building within a 10 foot radius.
15. A secure brace is to be installed if the chimney extends a minimum of 5
feet above the contact point with the roof.
16. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney to avoid internal
damage and/or corrosion.
17. Consult the chimney manufacturer for clearances to combustibles when
installing a combustible chimney enclosure above the roof.
