4.8.3 Chimney Installation Instructions
1.
Square holes providing a 2” minimum clearance to combustibles from the chimney must be cut and framed in all
ceilings, roof and floors that the chimney will pass through.
2. Install a firestop from below in every ceiling/floor division through which the chimney passes. An attic radiation
shield must be installed from above at the attic level.
3. Install the anchor plate supplied by the chimney manufacturer on the top of the fireplace.
4.
Consult the chimney manufacturer’s installation
instructions and install the chimney lengths. Lock each
length in place.
5. Install the appropriate firestop each time the chimney
passes through a wall or ceiling.
6. Install the roof support once the desired height is
reached.
7. Position the roof flashing. For sloping roofs, slide the
top edge of the flashing under the shingles. At least
half of the flashing should be under the shingles and
the lower end over the shingles. Seal the joint between
the roof and the flashing with roofing cement or
silicone. Fix the flashing to the roof with roofing nails.
8. Over the flashing, install the storm collar by tightening
the bolt that is supplied. Seal the joint using silicone
caulking between the chimney and the storm collar.
9. Install the chimney rain cap.
WARNING: Do not seal or caulk the ventilating
openings when installing a ventilated roof flashing.
4.8.4 Typical Chimney Installations
The figure 23 is an example of typical chimney installations.
Your installation may be different from these figures.
4.8.5 Offset Installation
In order to avoid obstacles or to extend the chimney outside,
it is possible to offset the aforementioned by using elbows
(see figure 23).

A maximum of two offsets (2 elbows per offset) is
permitted.

The allowable maximum deviation is 45
o
in Canada and 30
o
in the US.

Secure the chimney parts according to the instructions given by the chimney manufacturer.

A support strap, a wall or a roof support must be installed above each offset in order to support the vertical length of the
chimney above the offset.

The chimney must extend vertically through a ceiling/floor. Do not install elbows in this area.

Use a support on the first 15 foot section.
