Installation Notes - ICC EXCEL Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION NOTES

1. The chimney is intended for use with cooking, heating and other
low-heat appliances.
2. A chimney venting a fireplace or an incinerator shall not vent any other
appliance.
3. The clearance between single wall stove pipe and unprotected
combustible material must not be less than 18" (reference the National
Building Code and B365).
The distance between a vertical stove pipe and the ceiling may be less
than 18" when it is installed with an EXCEL support. The reduced
clearance in this area has been confirmed as part of the chimney safety
testing.
The distance between the horizontal stove pipe and a vertical wall may
be less than 18" where the insulated chimney passes horizontally
through the wall. The distance will be determined by the Wall Radiation
Shield.
4. The maximum height of un-guyed chimney above the roof is 5 feet.
5. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces
shall be enclosed in all cases to avoid personal contact with the
chimney and damage to the chimney.
6. Do not fill the air space around the chimney with insulation or any other
material. Do not fill the factory built supports or radiation shields with
insulation. Insulation placed in this area could cause adjacent
combustibles to overheat. Do not allow sawdust or construction debris
to accumulate around the chimney. Clean all areas surrounding the
chimney before closing up any enclosed areas.
7. The chimney shall extend at least 3 ft. above its point of penetration
with the roof and at least 2 ft. higher than any wall, roof or adjacent
building within 10 ft. of it. For chase installations, the chimney must
extend at least 8" above the top of the chase.
8. The following does not apply to installation in single and two-family
dwellings:
Factory built chimneys which extend through any story above that on
which the connected appliance is located are to be provided with
enclosures having a fire resistance rating equal to or greater than that
of the floor or roof assemblies through which they pass.
