9.2 Supply of Combustion Air
The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for a fireplace is from the room in which
it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not chill the fire, and its availability is
not affected by wind pressures on the house. The only case in which the fireplace may not
have adequate access to combustion air is if the operation of a powerful exhaust device (such
as a kitchen range exhaust) causes the pressure in the house to become negative relative to
outdoors.
9.3 Chimney Installation
The chimney manufacturer’s installation manual takes precedence over the following installation
instructions. To ensure a safe installation, please refer to it. Some non-illustrated parts may be
required.
9.3.1 General Advices
• This wood burning fireplace has optimum performance and efficiency when connected to
a chimney with a 6" (150 mm) diameter flue , only the chimneys listed in the ««Table 4 :
Approved Chimneys» can be used.
• To insure a good draft, it is recommended to have a length of 18" (457 mm) from the top of
the unit to the first offset. However, starting using a 30° or 45° (Canada Only) elbow is also
approved.
• A CHIMNEY VENTING A FIREPLACE SHALL NOT VENT ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
• The minimum height of the chimney system is 15 feet (4.6 m) from the base of the
appliance to the chimney cap. If only the minimum height of the chimney system is installed,
the operating conditions must be optimal (interior chimney, minimum height of 18" (457 mm)
before any deviation, etc.).
