MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY
REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER’S
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE. Use only a 6˝
diameter manufactured chimney system listed to UL 103 HT.
Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to 2100
degrees Fahrenheit. Use chimney from only one manufacturer.
Never mix brands. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer’s
stated requirements and clearances. Use the chimney
manufacturer’s attic guards, roof supports, flashing and fire
stops when passing through a ceiling. Use a listed thimble when
passing through a combustible wall. Do not use makeshift
compromises during installation.
When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’s condition and
installation inspected before using. Make sure that the chimney
meets all of the UL rating requirements listed above. Be aware
that not all manufactured chimney is of the UL 103 HT type.
NOTE: It is recommended that you contact a licensed heating
and cooling contractor (consult your local yellow pages) for
chimney installation. Manufactured chimney with the proper
required UL listing is available from most home centers,
hardware stores, and HVAC supply stores. If you have access
to the internet, you may wish to view chimney manufacturers’
information on-line. See, www.duravent.com, www.elkirkinc.
com, or www.mtlfab.com.
VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert
an existing fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe
connection to an existing masonry chimney
requires more work than using a prefabricated
chimney. The existing fireplace must be closed
and sealed at the damper with high temperature
caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace cement. Prior to
installation, clean and inspect the existing flue
and smoke shelf. Installation should be designed
so the system can be dismantled for periodic
cleaning and inspection. Before conversion, make
sure the existing chimney is structurally sound, the
chimney incorporates a flue liner and make sure
it is in good condition. (A flue liner consists of clay
tile that protects the brickwork of a chimney. If a
chimney does not have a liner, or it is damaged,
have it relined by a professional. DO NOT USE
a chimney that is unlined or damaged!) If you
have any question regarding the condition of the
chimney, consult a qualified licensed contractor,
qualified engineer, competent mason, certified
Chimney Sweep, or a knowledgeable inspector.
Consult your insurance company if you cannot find
a qualified expert.
CAUTION:
Not all fireplace chimneys are
suitable for conversion to accommodate
connection to a coal stove. Check with a
qualified expert.
WARNING:
Do not use single wall connector
pipe as a chimney - a house fire could result.
