STEP-BY-STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney in-
stallation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly (check the Minimum Rec-
ommended Flue Heights section).
1) With your location already established, cut
and frame the roof hole. It is recommended
that no ceiling support member be cut for
chimney and support box installation. If it is
necessary to cut them, the members must
be made structurally sound.
2) Install radiant shield and support from
above.
3) Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish
support to a minimum height of 3 feet above
the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any
point within 10 feet measured horizontally.
There must be at least 3 feet of chimney
above the roof level.
Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes
help your unit to "breathe" better
by allowing a greater draft to be cre-
ated. This greater draft can decrease
problems such as, difficult start-ups,
back-smoking when door is open, and
dirty glass. It might be sufficient to
initially try with the minimum required
height, and then if problems do arise
add additional height at a later date.
4) Slide the roof flashing over your chimney
and seal the flashing to the roof with roofing
compound. Secure the flashing to your roof
with nails or screws.
5) Place the storm collar over the flashing,
sealing the joints with a silicone caulking.
6) Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if
required) to the top of your chimney.

7) For optimum efficiency when installing into
a masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e.
the 6" (152mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.
8) To complete your chimney installation, install
the double wall connector pipe from the
stove's flue collar to the chimney support
device.
9) If you are using a horizontal connector,
the chimney connector should be as high
as possible while still maintaining the 18"
(457mm) minimum distance from the hori-
zontal connector to the ceiling.
10) NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and
Alcove installations require a listed dou-
ble wall connector from the stove collar
to the ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to in-
stall your unit into a standard ceiling or with a
horizontal connector. Check with your dealer
or installer for information on other options
available to you.

FACTORY
BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used,
the manufacturer's installation instructions
must be followed. You must also purchase
and install the ceiling support package or wall
pass-through and "T" section package, firestops
(where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,
chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to
the structure as recommended by the manufac-
turer. The chimney must be the required height
above the roof or other obstructions for safety
and proper draft operation.
