THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Chimney Installation Notes

1. This appliance is equipped with a universal vent collar that will require
the fi rst vent section of pipe to be secured with four screws to the
collar (equally spaced around circumference).
2. If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better perfor-
mance. In areas with continuous temperatures below -18° C (0° F),
the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating
problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up
characteristics. Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-with dry
and fl ow reversal. Installations, which are located on lower fl oors
in the house, such as in a basement, in combination with outside
chimney, are especially prone to fl ow reversal.
3. The IHP fi replace model WCT6820WS may be installed only with
Security Chimneys International 6" diameter chimney systems
DuraVent model DuraTech ®
4. A chimney venting a fi replace shall not vent any other appliance.
5. The minimum chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m). In altitude,
add 18" (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2,000 feet (600 m) above
sea level.

6. All chimney installations must include at least one support. Re-
ducing the amount of chimney weight on the fi replace will help avoid
the noise created when the fi replace expands. This can be achieved
by having the chimney supported by the supports. The maximum
chimney length that can be supported by the fi replace is nine (9) feet
(2.75 m) for S-2100+
/ HT6103+*/ DuraTech DTC
7. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point
of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than
any wall, roof or building within ten (10) feet (3m) of it (Figure 20).
8. If the chimney extends higher than fi ve (5) feet (1,500 mm) above its
point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.
9. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install
a rain cap may cause corrosion problems.
10. Cut and frame square holes in all fl oors, ceilings, and roof that the
chimney will go through to provide a 2" (50 mm) clearance between
the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not fi ll this 2" space
with insulation or any other combustible material.
11. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces
must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or
damage to the chimney.
12. When offsets are used, the pipe may not penetrate a ceiling or fl oor
unless it is running vertical (no 30° offsets).

NOTE: 2" clearance to combustibles around chimney components required.
NOTE: Blown or fi ll type insulation materials must not be in contact with
the fi replace or in the enclosure frame as described in ''Enclosure'' section.
NOTE: Local codes may not require fi restopping at the ceiling levels for
outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and
the reduction of heat loss.
