Follow the rules listed above concerning maximum permissible flue liner size; installing this unit on masonry
•
chimneys exceeding 56.55
performance.
Use three sheet metal screws at each single wall chimney connector joint (check manufacturer's
•
recommendations when double wall chimney connector is used).
Drill three holes in the flue collar of the unit and attach the chimney connector to the unit using sheet metal
•
screws (holes should be pre‐drilled in flue collar from factory).
Avoid numerous elbows and excessive horizontal runs as both will lead to poor draft and increased creosote
•
accumulation. Horizontal runs of chimney connector must never exceed 4.0 ft. and the overall length of the
chimney connector must not exceed 8.0 ft.
A tight seal at the thimble is crucial for proper unit performance and to create a safe installation. Use the proper
•
adapter designed for connecting single or double wall chimney connector to a masonry thimble.
Have existing masonry chimneys inspected for safety and proper clearances to combustibles before putting them
•
into service; a qualified chimney sweep can perform this inspection.
External masonry chimneys often suffer cold downdrafts and poor draft performance even when they meet the
•
cross‐sectional area rules. In this case, a 6.0" insulated liner may be necessary.
