To install an elbow:
1.
Turn the elbow in the direction needed and secure it to the chimney by following the chimney manufacturer’s
instructions.
2.
Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions to install the chimney lengths necessary for the offset.
3. Secure a second elbow to turn the chimney in the vertical position.
4. Cut and frame a hole in the ceiling and floor to allow the chimney to pass through.
5. Install a firestop from below.
N.B.: Always install a ventilated flashing and a roof firestop, unless it is otherwise specified by the chimney
manufacturer.
4.8.6 Angled Wall Radiation Shield
The chimney can pass through a wall at an angle of 30° or 45° in Canada and 30° in the United States. For installations
requiring the chimney to pass through a combustible wall, a wall radiation shield or an angled firestop must be installed.
The wall radiation shield or the angled firestop used is provided by the chimney manufacturer and must be installed
according to the chimney manufacturer’s instructions. Using a wall radiation shield that is insulated is recommended for
colder climates.
4.8.7 Connection to a Masonry Chimney
The Galaxy fireplace can be connected to a masonry chimney. The masonry chimney must comply with the national and
local building codes.
A stainless steel liner of 6 in. diameter, complying with the standard ULC-S635-M2000 in Canada
or UL-1777 in the US, must be installed in the chimney. The liner must be continuous and its
installation must comply with the manufacturer’s instructions.
An insulated chimney from the model specified in Table 1 must extend from the fireplace to at
least 3 in. inside the masonry chimney and connect to the chimney liner. Use the liner connector
designed by SUPREME as shown in figure 24.
General notes:
Before the installation, the masonry chimney must be inspected by authority having jurisdiction to
determine the following:

If the chimney is constructed in accordance with local building codes and the national
building code.

If it has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected and determine if it is in good
condition. Reparations must be done if necessary.

That the chimney is not shared with other appliances such as a furnace, a hot water heater or another fireplace.

That the flue of the chimney is of adequate size for the fireplace to be installed.

The fireplace must be placed as close as possible to the existing chimney.

The minimum clearances to combustibles as stated in the owner’s manual must be respected.

Elbows can be used to deviate and enter the masonry chimney when possible as shown in figure 25.

The allowable maximum deviation is 45
o
in Canada and 30
o
in the US.

The prefabricated chimney and the liner must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation:
1. Install the anchor plate on the top of the fireplace.
2. Place the fireplace at the desired location.
3. Install elbows, if required.
4. Mark where the prefabricated chimney will penetrate the masonry chimney.
5. Remove the fireplace so it will be easier to work.
6. Make a hole to the required size so the prefabricated chimney can be inserted freely in the masonry chimney.
7. Fix with three self-tapping screws the flange holder (aligned with the center of the prefabricated chimney) on the
upper end of the elbow (or tee) to be connected to the liner.
8. Place and level the fireplace at the desired location.
9. Install fire stops if you are penetrating a combustible wall.
10. Install the required elbows and chimney lengths to the center of the masonry chimney.
11. Insert at least one inch of the lower end of the liner in the slightly expanded end of the liner connector and fix them
