Everest Fireplace Installation and Operation Manual
______________________________________________________________________________ 59
Installation:
The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner of the same diameter as the outlet of
the fireplace. For connection at 30° or 45° angle, a special connector (B) must be used to connect
the liner (C) to the insulated chimney (A). Verify availability and installation instructions for this
connector with the chimney manufacturer.
Follow these steps:
1.
Position the fireplace in its location.
Temporarily install the elbow or
chimney section (A) on the top of the
fireplace and, using a level, mark with
an oval, the location where the flue
liner will enter the masonry chimney.
2.
In the middle of the oval, drill a hole in
the masonry chimney at 45
or 30
.
3.
Increase the size of the hole until a
45
or 30
insulated liner adapter (B)
can be easily slipped through.
4.
Slide the liner (C) down from the top
of the masonry chimney until you
reach the hole level.
5.
Slip through the hole a 45
or 30
insulated liner adapter and connect it
to the liner.
6.
Seal the opening around the liner with
high temperature refractory cement.
7.
Then,
follow
the
chimney
manufacturer’s
instructions
to
connect the extended liner section to
the special chimney connector.
Note:
Make sure the liner exceeds at least 12" (30 cm) the top of the masonry chimney.
