not have cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration
and blockage. Hearth & Home recommends a NFI or CSIA
certified professional or a technician, under the direction of
a certified professional, conduct a Level II inspection per

F. Chimney Height / Rise and Run
This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch
(152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (4.27-4.87m) high, (includes
appliance height) measured from the base of the appliance.
The further your stack height or diameter varies from
this configuration, the greater the likelihood it may affect
performance.
Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to
use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea
level or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to
the owner’s information manual provided with this appliance.
For assistance or additional information consult a qualified
installer, service agency or your dealer.
G. Securing Chimney Components
All joints should be secured with 3 sheet metal screws or
rivets per pipe manufacturers instructions. The sections
must be attached to the insert and to each other with the
crimped (male) end pointing toward the insert (
