ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLING YOUR
DOUBLEWALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists of an outer pipe, flue pipe
and one wire spacer. The pipe sections are not unitized and must be
assembled independently as the chimney is installed. When starting
the chimney directly on the fireplace, the flue pipe section must be
installed first, with lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then
be installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up (see
Figure 3).
Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the
hem on the fireplace starter. The wire spacer will assure the proper
spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.

Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making
sure both inner and outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall "snap lock" chimney together, it is important
to assure the joint between the chimney sections are locked. Check
by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not
come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to
keep the chimney together.
WARNING: THE OPENING IN THE COLLAR AROUND
THE TOP OF THE FIREPLACE MUST NOT BE OB-
STRUCTED. NEVER USE BLOWN INSULATION TO
FILL THE CHIMNEY ENCLOSURE (SEE FIGURE 4).
