4.6 MASONRY

4.6.1 T YPICAL EXISTING MASONRY
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO NOT
CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR
SYSTEM.
You can install your appliance using your existing
masonry chimney. To do
so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a
masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in
compliance with the specifications of the Building
Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fire
clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire
cement. (Round flues are the most efficient).
Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently
open. We recommend the following method of sealing
off the damper area around the liner:
Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this
shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (flue cover);
cut a six-inch (6 3/4" / 171mm) hole to lie directly
below the fireplace flue opening. Allow two inches of
material for a flange on all sides and cut to these mea-
surements. Bend down the flanges. If you have never
done this before, it might be a good idea to make a
cardboard pattern and test it first. Fasten this flue
cover in position as high as possible with two masonry
screws per side through the flanges into the fireplace.
In Canada: Install flexible stainless steel liner from
the top of the chimney to the insert flue collar. Attach a
stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and
insert onto the flue collar. Fasten with three screws.
Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a
liner support and chimney flashing. Cap the top of the
chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.

In the United States: While it is not required, it is
recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is
continuous from the insert to the top of the chimney,
particularly when the insert is installed in a basement.
For this type of connection, use the "In Canada" instal-
lation instructions above.
If a continuous liner is not installed, a "direct flue
connection" must be made. The direct flue connection
requires a non-combustible connector that extends
from the insert into the chimney flue liner and also that
the installed flue cover be sealed below the entry point
of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion
products in the chimney flue with air from inside the
house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved
rain cap.

4.6.2 FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

The following installation requirements must be
35
rain cap
flue cover (seal) with
non-combustible
material
observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into
factory built fireplaces.
A. The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL
127 or ULC S610.
B. Clearances to any combustible material sur-
rounding this insert as identified must be fol-
lowed. These clearance requirements supersede
any pre-existing facing material clearances
listed for the factory built fireplace.
C. Installation must include a full height listed
chimne y liner meeting HT requirements
(2100°F/1149°C) as required in UL 1777
(U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be
securely attached to the insert flue collar and
the chimney top.
D. Means must be provided to prevent room air
passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
This may be accomplished by sealing the
damper area around the chimney liner, or seal-
ing the appliance front.
E. The air flow within and around the appliance
shall not be altered by the installation of the
insert (i.e. no louvres or cooling air inlet or
outlet ports are blocked), unless specifically
tested as such for each factory built fireplace
manufacturer and model line. NOTE: Using a
louvered face plate (surround) complies
with this requirement.
