ANCHOR PLATE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Your
Magnum ZC
fireplace comes with the option of either 7” or 8” chimney takeoff. No matter which
is used it is important that proper procedure is followed when installing the chimney anchor plate that you
purchase from your chimney supplier.
The drawing below shows the proper way that the anchor plate would go on the unit. By sealing and
fastening the anchor plate on to the top of the fireplace you will eliminate the chance for smoke leakage.
ü
Before fastening the anchor plate to the unit, place a thick bead of high temperature caulking
underneath the anchor plate base (SEE FIGURE 19). This needs to be able to take temperatures in
excess off 1,000 degrees. You may also use a high temperature gasket such as round stove gasket
material. This would also be glued into place with high temperature cement.
