A MAJOR CAUSE OF CHIMNEY RELATED FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED
CLEARANCE (AIR SPACE) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPOR-
TANCE THAT THIS CHIMNEY BE INSTALLED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

CHIMNEY TYPE:

Type "A" factory-built chimney suitable for venting negative or neutral draft
(non-pressurized) appliances including boilers, building heating equip-
ment, fireplaces and stoves.  RIS has been designed, tested, and listed to
vent large wood burning fireplaces and to extend masonry chimneys. RIS
is listed to the UL 103HT standard for use in the USA. 

Note for customers

in Canada: 

Model RIS is not certified to the ULC S-629 Standard. 

SIZE:

6" - 24" Chimney

Use only factory supplied components.  Failure to do so will void the certification
and the warranty of this chimney.

If possible, install the chimney on the interior of the building as it will provide better per-
formance than an exterior chimney.   In areas with continuous temperatures below 0°F
the use of an exterior chimney may result in operating problems such as poor draft and
excessive condensation of combustion products.   If you do install an exterior chimney,
we recommend that you install it within an insulated enclosure.

Read these instructions and keep them for future reference. Contact local build-
ing or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection in your area.

RIS has been tested and listed to the UL 103HT chimney
standard  by Warnock Hersey - Intertek Testing Services
