4.1.5 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY
You can also install your appliance using your existing
masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guidelines
EN
below. Use a factory-built thimble, or construct
your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry
chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance
with the specifi cations of the Building Code in
your region. It must normally be lined with fi re clay
bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fi re
cement. (Round fl ues are the most effi cient). The
maximum fl ue size is 8" (203.2mm) x 8" (203.2mm)
square or 6" (152.4mm) round. For greater diameters
it is necessary to install a 6" stainless steel liner.
