4.3.3 CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, floor and roof where the chimney will pass and install radiation shields
(see figure X). Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the holes. Make sure that the size of the floor and ceiling
holes are in accordance with the chimney manufacturer's instructions.
Important: roof radiation shield is mendatroy for all installations!
2. From below, install a firestop supplied by the chimney manufacturer in each ceiling/floor separation through
which the chimney will pass. At the attic level, install an attic radiation shield from above.
3. Follow the chimney's manufacturers' instructions and place the first chimney length on the fireplace. For all
chimneys, you must use an anchor plate supplied by the chimney manufacturer before installing the first chimney
length (see figure 24). Continue installing chimney lengths making sure to lock each length in place.
4. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate firestop. When you reach the
desired height, install the roof support. (Refer to instructions included with the support.
5. Then, put the roof flashing in place and seal the joint between the roof and the flashing with roofing pitch (see
figures 24). For sloping roofs, place the flashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail
the flashing to the roof, using roofing nails.
6. Place the storm collar over the flashing, and tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally, seal the joint between
the storm collar and the chimney, using silicone caulking.
7. Install the chimney cap.
8. When a ventilated roof flashing is installed, precautions are to be taken
not to caulk or seal the ventilating openings.
Please note :
For USA 6"x 2" chimney UL 103 HT MUST BE USED.
