INSTALLATION
followed. You must also purchase (from the same
manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package
or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops
(where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney
cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as
recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be
the required height above the roof or other obstructions
for safety and proper draft operation.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum
standards of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make
sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs
of deterioration and blockage. Be sure to the chimney
cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When
connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a
masonry chimney, special methods are needed.

METHOD A -
12” (305 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm)
brick and a 5/8” (16 mm) minimum wall thickness clay
liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must
conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for
Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of
12” (305 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner
and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the
brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the
chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly
grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue
liner.
METHOD B -
9” (229 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Using a 6” (153 mm) inside diameter, listed,
factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation
of 1” (26 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through with a
minimum 9” (229 mm) air space between the outer wall
of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet
metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on
all sides, to maintain the 9” (229 mm) air space. When
fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the
chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney).
The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be
flush with the inside of the masonry chimney flue, and
sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use
this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
