• Factory-built chimney must be 6 inch
(152mm) UL103 HT.
F. Chimney Height / Rise and Run
This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch
(152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (420-480cm) high,
(includes appliance height) measured from the base of the
appliance. The further your stack height or diameter varies
from this configuration, the greater the likelihood it may
affect performance.
Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to
use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above
sea level or when there are other factors that affect flue
draft.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
May allow flue gases to enter the house.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to the owner's information manual provided with this
appliance. For assistance or additional information consult
a qualified installer, service agency or your dealer.
G. Securing Chimney Components
All joints should be secured with 3 sheet metal screws or
rivets per pipe manufacturers instructions. The sections
must be attached to the insert and to each other with the
crimped (male) end pointing toward the insert (Figure

Fire Risk.
Follow venting manufacturer's clearances and
instructions when installing venting system.
H. Larger Chimneys
It is recommended that chimneys with larger diameters
than 6 inches (152mm) be relined. An oversized flue can
affect draft and impair performance and will allow increased
build-up of creosote.
NOTICE: Check with your local building authorities
and/or consult the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA 211).
