Installing the Chimney System
2/18/99 djt
Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar
on top of the fireplace.
Install the pipe as pictured in Figure 13. When you
get a good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap
together. Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is
extremely difficult to get them apart. Make sure the
pipe is firmly snapped and locked together as each
pipe section is mounted.
When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap-
lock. Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure
to always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural
framing member. (Fig. 14)
Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is
installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must
install a firestop spacer. Refer to Figure 15 for appropri-
ate spacer orientation.
Installing the Firestop Spacer
in the Ceiling Hole
A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly
and required for safety.
Nail the firestop spacer
(at each corner) to the
framing members of the
ceiling hole. NOTE: A
firestop spacer is not
required at the roof.
