INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY CHIMNEY WITH A DIRECT CONNECT
Check with you local Authority having Jurisdiction before you begin you begin an installation of a Direct
Connect System to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up in-
spections. If required, always obtain a building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be un-
expectedly cancelled. Contact your local dealer if any assistance is required during installation.
NOTE: In some areas, you may be required to install a clean out/inspection door on the backside of your
chimney, just above the smoke shelf area. A means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean
the chimney flue. Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for more information about require-
ments in your area.
1. If you are going to remove the damper and frame, install a clean out door and fasten the permanent
warning label, that comes with the insert, to the back wall of the fireplace warning future owners that
the fireplace may have been altered to do this installation, in the event that the insert is ever removed,
now would be a good time to do it. If you will be
securing the damper in the open position, do it now.
2. Once these are done, carry on with the preparation of the Blocker plate
2. You will need some sheet metal, at least 24 guage in thickness, two inches larger all around
than the throat area of the fireplace. Depending on the fit, you will need some flat gasketing,
some masonry anchors and some stainless steel liner to go from the top of the flue collar of
the insert to the first flue tile in the chimney.
3. With a piece of soapstone or chalk, mark a line, using a level, just below the damper on the
backside, sides and front in the throat area of the fireplace. Installing the blocker plate hori-
zontally will make it much easier to cut the hole for the liner to go through. It’s easier to cut a
tight round hole than a tight oval hole.
NOTE: a) masonry or steel shall not be removed from the fireplace to accommodate the appli-
ance; (b) masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf
and adjacent damper frame if necessary to accommodate a flue liner, provided that their removal
will not weaken the structure of the fireplace and chimney and will not reduce protection to com-
bustible materials.
4. Layout the measurements onto the sheet metal leaving an two inches all the way around for a
flange (do not measure exactly mark your measurements short, the gasket will take up the
gap)
5. Cut out your marks and notch the four corners so that you can bend the flanges down and
then you can insert your fasteners into them. Because you measured short, do not bend the
flanges over at a 90
o
angle but closer to 60
o
Drill the holes for your anchors
7. Test the fit by pushing the blocker plate into the throat of the fireplace. Now determine where
the hole for the liner will go in the plate either by measuring or by pushing the insert into posi-
tion and marking the hole location. Mark your anchor hole locations at the same time
