Chimney Connection - Jøtul C 450 Kennebec Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Chimney Connection

A positive connection must be made between the
fireplace insert and the chimney by one of the following
approved methods.
In the U.S:
The insert is connected to a listed stainless steel flexible
connector that extends beyond the chimney flue tile
liner. A sealed block-off plate must be installed at the
damper area of the existing fireplace. See fig. 11.
For internal chimneys, (no sides of the chimney
exposed to the outside below the roofline,) a positive
connection to the first flue tile is acceptable provided
the tile is no larger than 8" x 12". For external chimneys,
(one or more sides are exposed to the outside below the
roof line,) a positive connection to the first flue tile is
acceptable provided the tile is no larger than 8" x 8".
A 6", 7", or 9" stainless steel liner, extending the full
height of the chimney, is required for all installations
where the flue tile is greater than 8" x 12" for internal
chimneys, or 9" x 8" for external chimneys.
In Canada:
The insert must be installed with a continuous chimney
liner of 6" (152 mm) diameter extending from the
fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney
liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing
Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/
ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry
Chimneys.
See fig. 11a.
Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe for
chimney connection components - these materials are
not suitable for use with solid fuel.

Installation
1. Remove the existing damper and linkage
components from the fireplace. Alternatively, you
can wire the damper plate to lock it in the open
position. Thoroughly clean the firebox and smoke
shelf area with a wire brush.
2. If the fireplace has been modified to
accommodate installation, use anchors or
masonry nails to attach the metal Fireplace
Conversion Notice Plate (PN 220508) to the back
wall of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will
be readily seen should the insert be removed.
3. Install the Flex Connection plate according to the
manufacturer's instructions. The sealing plate may
require trimming to accommodate your specific
fireplace damper.
