LIGHTWEIGHT BLOCK-IN - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.)
Factory-Built Chimney
The lightweight block-in installation is designed to be used with a factory-built double-wall
chimney. Use only the brands of chimney listed in this section. It is very important to follow
the clearance specifications listed in this section. The chimney can be installed at any point
after the fireplace position is precisely determined. It is easier to install the chimney in the
chase prior to setting the fireplace in position. It can be held up out of the way with a 2 x 4
nailed across the chase.
Chimney Adapter:
The block-in installation requires the use of the Travis Industries chimney adapter built
specifically for the Fireplace Xtrordinair. This chimney adapter accommodates the chimney
brands listed in this section. Follow the directions below for attaching the chimney adapter.
To attach the chimney adapter to the fireplace, center the adapter over the fireplace and push
it into the flue opening on top of the Fireplace Xtrordinair until it is fully seated. The adapter is
designed to accommodate the different chimney brands with the use of a stepped outer liner
connector and an inner liner that has a ledge along the inside. When attaching the chimney
pipe to the adapter, first insert the inner liner of the chimney pipe into the inner liner of the
chimney adapter. Certain brands of chimney pipe will stop at the ledge, while others will
insert beyond the ledge. When the chimney pipe is fully seated and aligned, drill three holes
in the chimney pipe where it lines up with the holes in the chimney adapter. Secure the
chimney adapter to the chimney pipe with three sheet metal screws. If there are any large
gaps between the chimney pipe and chimney adapter, use furnace cement to seal (allow 24
hours to dry before burning the fireplace). The outer liner of the chimney pipe attaches to the
outer liner connectors on either the upper or lower step. Drill four holes into the outer liner of
the chimney pipe where it lines up with the holes in the outer liner connectors. Secure with
four sheet metal screws.
NOTE:
When the chimney system is fully installed, air should be allowed to
pass into the space between the inner and outer liners on the chimney
adapter.
