If your fireplace opening height is at least 737 mm (9"), you
12/99
may install A Defiant through the opening using a "positive
connection" kit, available from your local dealer. These posi-
tive connection kits ensure a tight fit between the stove flue
collar and the chimney flue. (Fig. 8)
Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue above
or through the fireplace opening, have special clearance
requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel. You'll find the
required safe clearances for Defiant fireplace installations
on Page 11.
Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace instal-
lations. This information is on Page 9.
wall pass-Throughs
Whenever possible, design your installation so the connec-
tor does not pass through a combustible wall. If you are
considering a wall pass-through in your installation, check
with your building inspector before you begin. Also, check
with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific
requirements.
Accessories are available for use as wall pass-throughs.
If using one of these, make sure it has been tested and
listed for use as a wall pass-through.

Figure 9 shows one method of passing a connector through
fireplace
a wall. All combustible material in the wall is cut away to
flex connector
provide the required 457 mm (18") clearance for the con-
12/99
nector. The resulting space must remain empty. A flush-
mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only.
If covers must be used on both sides, each cover must be
mounted on noncombustible spacers at least 5 mm (1")
clear of the wall.
Your local dealer or your local building inspector can provide
details for other approved methods of passing a chimney
connector through a combustible wall in your area.
