General notes:
Before the installation, the masonry chimney must be inspected by authority having jurisdiction to determine the following:
1. if the chimney is constructed in accordance with local building codes and the national building code;
2. if it has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected to determine that it is in good condition; repair the chimney, if necessary;
3. that the chimney is not shared with other appliances such as a furnace, a hot water heater or another fireplace;
4. that the flue of the chimney is of adequate size for the fireplace to be installed.
Installation
The fireplace must be placed as close as possible to the existing chimney.
The minimum clearances to combustibles as stated in the owner’s manual must be respected.
It is preferable to use elbows to deviate and enter the masonry chimney when possible as shown in Figure 7.
If the deviation is greater than 45
o
in Canada (30
o
in the US), then use a tee at the base of the chimney.
The prefabricated chimney and the liner must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Here are the steps to follow:
•
Install the anchor plate on the top of the fireplace.
•
Place the fireplace at the desired location.
•
Install elbows, if required.
•
Mark where the prefabricated chimney will penetrate the masonry chimney.
•
Remove the fireplace so it will be easier to work.
•
Open a hole to the required size so that the prefabricated chimney can be inserted freely in the masonry chimney.
•
Fix with three self-tapping screws the flange holder (aligned with the center of the prefabricated chimney) on the upper
end of the elbow (or tee) to be connected to the liner.
•
Place and level the fireplace at the desired location.
•
Install fire stops if you are penetrating a combustible wall.
•
Install the required elbows and chimney lengths to the center of the masonry chimney.
•
Insert at least one inch of the lower end of the liner in the slightly expanded end of the liner connector and fix them
with three self- tapping screws #8: make sure the connector flange is already inserted around the liner connector.
•
Bring the liner down from the top of the masonry chimney and insert the liner connector in the upper end of the
prefabricated chimney.
•
Align the holes of the connector flange with the threaded studs of the flange holder, and secure the connection with the
wing nuts.
•
Fill with mortar the opening around the prefabricated chimney.
Figure 7
NOTE: It might be necessary to create a small temporary opening in the side of the chimney to facilitate the connection of
the liner to the prefabricated chimney. Close this opening after the installation is completed with refractory materials.
WARNING: Always respect the minimum clearances to combustibles. A 2inchclearance is required for the
prefabricated chimney.
