Metal Prefabricated Chimney - Quadra-Fire Yosemite YOSEMITE-MBK Installation & Operation Manual

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's
installation instructions must be followed precisely. It will
be necessary to install the ceiling support package or wall
pass through, "T" section package, firestops (when needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any other
materials deemed necessary by the instructions of the
prefabricated chimney manufacturer. Maintain the proper
clearance to the structure as recommended by the chimney
manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum of 2
inch (51mm), although it may vary by manufacturer or for
certain components. Follow the chimeny manufacturers'
instructions carefully.
There are basically two methods of metal chimney installation.
One method is to install the chimney inside the residence
through the ceiling and the roof. Install an attic insulation shield
to maintain the specified clearance to insulation. Insulation in
this air space will cause a heat buildup which may ignite the
ceiling joists. This method of installation requires, at minimum,
a ceiling support package, an insulation shield and roof
flashing. See Figure 15A.
The other method is to install an exterior chimney that runs
up the outside of the residence. See Figure 15B. The
components illustrated may not look exactly like the system
you purchase, but they demonstrate the basic components
necessary for a proper and safe installation.
The chimney must be the required height above the roof or
other obstruction for safety and for proper draft operation. The
requirement is that the chimney must be at least 3 ft. (91cm)
higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof
and at least 2 ft. (61cm) higher than the highest part of the
roof or structure that is within 10 ft. (305cm) of the chimney,
measured horizontally. (See Figure 11A on page 11)
