THROUGH AN EXISTING MASONRY CHIMNEY
1.
Position stove following clearances shown
in
Section 3.2:
Minimum Clearances to
Combustibles
and
following
vent
manufacturer’s instructions.
2.
Mark the center of the hole where the vent
pipe will go through the masonry chimney.
3.
It is necessary to make a hole in the
masonry with a one-inch diameter greater
than the diameter of the vent pipe used.
4.
Install a vented flashing at the top of the
masonry chimney. Stainless steel plate and
screws are recommended. Cut a hole for
the vent pipe. If needed, cut a second hole
for the air intake pipe. Seal all joints with
high temperature waterproof silicone
sealant to prevent water leakage.
5.
Install the cleanout tee at the bottom of the vertical vent system and lower it down the chimney
until the center branch of the tee is aligned with the hole in the masonry.
6.
Install and seal flashing with high temperature waterproof silicone sealant.
7.
Seal and install vertical roof vent. If required, seal and install a storm collar.
8.
Connect the horizontal vent pipe to the cleanout tee by pushing it through the hole in the
masonry.
9.
If desired, once the horizontal pipe is in place, the space between the pipe and masonry may be
filled with high-temperature grout.
If desired, install a trim collar and use an additional horizontal vent pipe length, if required, to
connect the stove to the chimney.
