Section Ii: Masonry Insert Installation - New Buck Corporation 74 Manual

The Model 74 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use
with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important consid-
erations when installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above the roof
and at least 2' above any point of the roof within 10'.
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. "DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE."
