Chimney Requirements
The GranView requires an 8” diameter chimney. Any factory built chimney listed to UL-103HT may be used. The use of
one brand of chimney is required. Do not mix components from several manufacturers as this may cause a fire hazard.
Follow the chimney manufacturers’ specifications for installation procedures and components necessary to create a code
complying installation.
NOTE:
An anchor plate for the chimney brand selected must be used to adapt the chimney to the unit. Secure
the anchor plate using 4 self tapping metal screws and seal it to the fireplace using 600 degree RTV silicone.
See the diagram on page 13.
A firestop and/or a radiation shield is required at each location where the chimney penetrates combustible materials
except at the roof level where a flashing or chase top is employed. Install and seal a storm collar to the section of chimney
penetrating the flashing to prevent moisture from entering the chimney structure.
The roof penetration must meet the minimum clearance to the chimney just as any other combustible must. Use a roof
support to secure the chimney as it passes through the upper roofing system.
A chimney cap is required on all installations to validate the warranty. Do not connect this fireplace to a chimney that serves
another appliance.
Chimney Height, Offset and Clearance Requirements
The total height of chimney used on this installation must be a minimum of 15’ from the base of the unit to the cap with a
maximum of 36’. The maximum chimney height that is supported by the unit is 12’. Roof supports or other listed supports
must be used for additional height. The chimney must extend at least 2’ higher than any roof or wall that is within 10’ of it
