If the chimney is higher than 5 ft. above the roof, it must
be secured using a roof brace.
4. Put the roof flashing into place. Seal the joint be-
tween the roof and the flashing with roofing tar. For slop-
ing roofs, place the flashing under the upper shingles
and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the flashing to the
roof using roofing nails.
If the chimney is enclosed to the roof:
- USA: use a vented flashing.
- CANADA: use a vented flashing or a
roof radiation shield (ERRS)
and a regular flashing.
5. Place the storm collar over the chimney and flashing.
Seal it around the chimney with silicone sealer (DO NOT
use roofing tar).
6. Fit the rain cap on the chimney. Secure it tightly in
place.
7. Wash the roof flashing with solvent (or vinegar if the
flashing is galvanized), then paint it with exterior paint.
8. Read the EXCEL Chimney installation manual con-
cerning requirements for supports, bracing, anchors, etc.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Warning: When contemplating using an existing
chimney, it must first be thoroughly inspected by
an authority having jurisdiction to determine the
following:
1. It is a well constructed, lined masonry chimney, fully
in accordance with Local Building Codes and the Na-
tional Building Code of Canada (NBCC) 9.21 or NFPA
211.
CHIMNEY
This fireplace is certified for use with 7” ICC Model EX-
CEL chimney. The chimney system height from the
top of the fireplace must be a minimum of 12 ft. and a
maximum of 28 ft.
The minimum height of 12 ft. must be increased by ap-
proximately 1 ft. for every 2000 ft. elevation above sea
level. Every 30° or 45° elbow also increases the mini-
mum height by 1 ft. For example, if you are living 6000
ft. above sea level, your chimney must terminate at least
15 ft. from the top of the fireplace (12 ft. + 3 ft. for the
6000 ft.). See Table #1 for more precise recommended
flue heights.
CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
NOTE: The clearance between the chimney and com-
bustible material must be 2" or more. DO NOT fill this
area with insulation.
1. Cut and frame the required holes in the floor, ceiling
and roof where the chimney will pass through. Use a
plumb bob. The framing size is 13 1/4” square.
2. From below, install a radiation shield in each floor
through which the chimney passes. At the attic level,
install a radiation shield and a storm collar as shown in
figure 6).
3. Place the first chimney length on the fireplace. Se-
cure the chimney length to the fireplace with the three
screws provided.
The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. above its point of
contact with the roof and at least 2 ft. higher than any
wall, roof, or building within 10 ft. of it.
