CHIMNEY SUPPORT INSTALLATION
8.8.1
UNIVERSAL ROOF SUPPORT
This support has three possible uses:
1.
It must be used on a roof to support the chimney.
2.
It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the offset.
3.
It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support.
For roof support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support by the chimney
manufacturer. Many manufacturers will provide the maximum height of chimney that can be supported
by the support. Make sure you respect those parameters.
8.8.2
UNIVERSAL OFFSET SUPPORT
This support is used to support the chimney above an offset. When the chimney offset is used to pass
through a wall, this support may be used on the wall to support the chimney. For offset support installation,
refer to the instructions provided with the support by the chimney manufacturer. Many manufacturers
will provide the maximum height of chimney that can be supported by the support. Make sure you respect
those parameters.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MASONRY APPLICATION
WARNING: BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, THE MASONRY CHIMNEY MUST BE INSPECTED BY A
QUALIFIED SWEEP.
The following requirements must be respected:
1.
The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote. Check for cracks, loose or missing
bricks that could inhibit correct installation of the liner.
2.
The clearance to combustible must be a minimum of 1" between the outside of the masonry and any
wood framing or loose insulation.
3.
The chimney must be built in accordance with the current building code.
4.
No other appliance can be connected to the same chimney.
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.
