CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY WHEN CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
DOES NOT PASS THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL
PART E - (Figure 8)
In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and D of Figure 8, a listed factory-built wall pass-through system may be purchased and
installed according to the instructions packaged with it to provide a safe method of passing chimney connector through a combustible
wall for a connection to a masonry chimney.
If the chimney connector does not have to pass through a combustible wall to get to a masonry chimney, simply connect the chimney
connector directly to the masonry chimney's chimney thimble as described and shown by parts C and D of Figure 8. Remember,
the chimney connector should extend into the chimney thimble to the innerface of the chimney fl ue but not beyond; if the chimney
connector is extended through the chimney thimble into the chimney fl ue, resistance to the fl ow of smoke and gases up the chimney
will occur; that fl ow resistance will have an adverse aff ect on the operation and performance of the heater and venting system.
