General Steps Of Chimney Installation - J. A. Roby MAGNUM Instruction Manual

General steps of chimney installation

Use only approved chimneys of the same size as the output of
the appliance, which means 6 inches in the case of this stove.
The chimneys must be tested according to CAN/ULC-S629-M87
in Canada and to UL-103 (type HT) In USA. The ROBY2500/
ROBY2500 CUISINIERE can be installed with a masonry
chimney according to ULC-S635, ULC-S640 and UL-1777. The
masonry chimney must be equipped with a stainless steel
sleeve and meet the standards for the masonry chimney with
inner sleeve.
Provide a place for sweeping.
It is preferable, if possible, to avoid a chimney built outside of a
house and on an exterior wall, especially in cold regions.
Outside chimneys generally have a less efficient draft. They can
even have down draft since it is hard to heat them enough to
reach their operating temperature. Cold chimneys have
tendencies of greater accumulation of creosote, less efficient
draft and worse efficiency. Draft is proportional to the total
chimney height as well as its temperature. It is therefore possible
to get better draft by increasing the chimney's height and by
reducing the heat loss with insulated lining. Make sure that all
pipe joints are really airtight. A leak reduces the efficiency of the
appliance and could even make its usage dangerous.
Note: This is a general chimney installation method. Refer
to the manufacturer's manual for more details of
installation of your chimney.
1) Determine the total length necessary for your
chimney.
2) Make holes into all floors and roof.
3) If you need to cut a joist, be sure to strengthen the
adjacent joists and frame the hole respecting the
minimum dimensions between combustible
materials and the fireguard. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions supplied with the
fireguard. Never cut a loadbearing
joist/beam.
4) Frame the holes in each level and attic
respecting the minimum distance
recommended by the manufacturer of your
chimney. Install fireguard in each level.
5) Frame the hole into the roof.
6) Install a chimney support and a fireguard in the
ceiling where cook stove is installed.

7) Stack the prefabricated chimney sections on the
support and exceed the roof.
•
The chimney must exceed at least 3 feet
(91.4 cm) from the highest point of the hole
in the roof.
•
The chimney must also be at least 2 feet
over the highest point on the roof inside
10 feet (304 cm) radius around the chimney.
•
The minimum length of chimney is 12 feet
(365.8 cm).
ATTENTION: Make sure the chimney parts are attached
properly and locked onto the chimney support.
Note: A chimney longer than the minimum required can
add more draft and help the operation of the cook stove.
Try the minimum length first then add sections if you need
more draft.
8) Put the roof flashing over the chimney and seal it with
roof caulking.
9) Nail the roof flashing.
10) Slide the storm collar over the chimney and fix it. Seal
it with high temperature caulking.
11) Lock the chimney cap and install the spark arrestor if
necessary.
