• Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney
must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the
chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be
repaired. Openings sealed with pie plates or
wallpaper are a hazard and should be sealed with
mortar or refractory cement. In the event of a
chimney fire, flames and smoke may be forced out
of these unused thimbles.

• The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.
• A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the
standards of local building code, or, in the absence
of a local code, to a recognized national code.
Masonry chimneys must be lined, either with code-
approved masonry or precast refractory tiles,
stainless steel pipe, or a code-approved, "poured-in-
place" liner. The chimney clean-out door must seal
tightly to ensure a good draft.
Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be one that is
tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appli-
ances to the High-Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Stan-
dard UL-103-1985 (2100°F.) for the United States, and
High Temperature (650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for
Canada.

TION. FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACES AND
THEIR CHIMNEYS ARE SPECIFICALLY DE-

This Seville Insert is approved for venting into a masonry
chimney with a nominal flue size of 8" x 8" (203 x
203mm), and into a round flue size of 8" (203mm) or 6"
(152mm). It may be vented into larger chimneys as
well, however, chimneys with liners larger than 8" x
12" (203 x 305mm) may experience rapid cooling of
smoke and reduction in draft, especially if they are
located outside the home. Such large chimneys may
ST241
need to be insulated or relined for proper stove perfor-
mance.
Existing Masonry Fireplace
The Seville Insert is listed only for installation within a
properly built masonry or heat circulating, masonry-
type fireplace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of recognized building codes. A
heat-circulating masonry-type fireplace must conform
to building code standards for masonry fireplaces, and
must consist of a factory-built metal firebox with air
circulation pathways that are surrounded by masonry
materials.
The Vermont Castings' Seville Insert is not listed
for use in "zero-clearance" prefabricated fire-
places.
The fireplace and chimney must be clean and structur-
ally sound. Have it inspected by a qualified profes-
sional chimney sweep, a mason, or your Vermont
Castings' Authorized Dealer before the insert is
installed. Any deterioration (cracks, loose mortar or
loose bricks) must be repaired.
The fireplace should not be modified to install the
insert without first checking with your local building
inspector or fire marshal. Do not remove bricks or
mortar that may jeopardize the compliance of the
fireplace with local building codes.
