General Steps Of Chimney Installation - J. A. Roby CUISINIERE 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
CUISINIERE. The chimneys must be tested according to
CAN/ULC-S629-M87 in Canada and to UL-103 (type HT) In
USA. The 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 so
that they can 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. Be
sure to 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: Be sure the chimney parts
are attached properly and lock 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
section 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.
