Note that the most important aspect of the installation is
maintaining the minimum required clearances to combustible
materials according to the chimney pipe manufacturer’s
recommendations, otherwise a potential fire hazard may
occur.
Warning: do not interchange chimney manufacturer’s parts
with any other parts except those specifically required by
the chimney manufacturer’s recommendations otherwise a
potential hazardous condition may be created.
Attention: When choosing a Chimney System it must meet the
following requirements:
•
Designed for installation in accordance with the National
Fire Protection Standard.
•
Meets the requirements of NFPA 211.
•
Designed in accordance with ICC Codes.
Assuming you have sections of vertical pipe that are more than
10’ (ten feet) measuring between elbows, you must insert – at
midpoint – a chimney stabilizer. When installing the stabilizer,
pull out the support straps with a good amount of tension and
hammer to the frame.
Installing Damper and Chimney System
The Damper System/Anchor Plate assembly is required
for the installation of these chimney systems. Consult the
Chimney System manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Using the Damper/Anchor Plate Assembly, apply a 1/4”
(one-quarter inch) bead of gasket cement around the
base of the Anchor Plate. Apply ceramic blanket gasket to
the gasket cement.
2. Apply balance of gasket cement in a 1/4” (one-quarter
inch) bead on top of smoke dome top approx. 3” (3 inches)
outside of outlet hole. Install damper on top of unit pressing
damper into cement.
3. Place chimney adapter onto top of damper plate and
center in opening using gasket supplied with adapter.
4. Attach adapter with (12) #8 cement fasteners supplied,
carefully drilling holes into damper plate.
5. Attach damper chain stop on center rear of lintel 3”
(three inch) vertical from opening using (3) #8 cement
fasteners.
Attention:
Clearance to combustible construction cannot be
reduced during course of construction. For the safe operation
of the finished fireplace, these clearances must be followed
when building the framework for the chimney system.
Finishing Your Installation
To complete your fireplace installation, a fireplace grate will
be required for safe operation. The fireplace grate must be
sized to 50% of the hearth maximum. Additionally, a fireplace
screen must be installed for safety.
