FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s
installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase
(from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support
package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops
(where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.
Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended
by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height
above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft
operation.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum
standards of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make
sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of
deterioration and blockage. Be sure to the chimney
cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall
to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.
