2200 Insert Installation and Operation Manual
9.3 SUITABLE CHIMNEYS
Your wood insert will provide optimum efficiency and performance when connected to a 6-inch
diameter chimney liner. The connection to a chimney having a diameter of at least 5 inches
(Canada only) is permitted, if it allows the proper venting of combustion gases and that such
application is verified and authorized by a qualified installer. Otherwise, the diameter of the flue
should be 6 inches. The reduction of liner diameter to less than 6" should only be done if the total
height of the masonry chimney is greater than 20 feet.
9.4 LINER INSTALLATION
We recommend the use of a chimney liner
(rigid or flexible) to ensure satisfactory
performance. To ensure an optimal draft,
we also strongly recommend adding a
minimum of 12" rigid liner between the top
of the masonry chimney and the rain cap.
In all cases, liners should be installed in
accordance with the liner manufacturer's
instructions,
including instructions
for
extension above the masonry.
Use Listed Chimney Liners – UL 1777, ULC
S635.
In order to connect the insert to the liner,
refer to Section 9.5 Chimney liner
installation.
ATTENTION INSTALLER: When positioning
the unit in a fireplace opening prior to the
flue installation, install the insert into the
opening until the top lip of air jacket is flush
with fireplace facing.
If lag-bolts or anchors are to be used to
secure the insert, the hole locations should
be marked with the unit in place. Remove
the insert and locate the anchors.
