Chimney Requirements - Heatilator BIR42-B Owner's Manual

A. Chimney Requirements
Measure vertical distances from the base of the fireplace
as shown in Figure 8.2.
• Minimum overall straight height
• Minimum height with offset/return
• Maximum height
• Maximum chimney length between an offset
and return
• Maximum distance between chimney
stabilizers
• Maximum unsupported chimney length
between the offset and return
• Maximum unsupported chimney height above
the fireplace
• Maximum unsupported chimney above roof
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51 mm)
air space clearance to insulation and other combustible
materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so may
cause overheating and fire.

Determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation:
• Measure the total vertical height of the fireplace installation
from the base of the fireplace assembly to the approximate
location of the bottom of the termination cap.
• Subtract the effective height of the fireplace assembly (see
Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine the
overall height of the chimney installation.
• Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure
8.2 showing components required (referring to Table 8.1).
Figure 8.1 identifies those components and where used.
• Install a ceiling firestop whenever the chimney penetrates
a floor/ceiling.
NOTICE: A maximum of one offset and return may be
used.
CAUTION! Risk of Fire and/or Asphyxiation! DO NOT
connect this fireplace to a chimney flue servicing another
appliance. DO NOT connect to any air distribution duct
or system. These actions could cause overheating/fire
in the chimney flue, or release of exhaust fumes into the
living areas.
