INSTRUCTIONS.
*Combustible material is defined as material made of, or surfaced with, wood, compressed paper, plant fibers,
plastic, or other material that will ignite and burn, whether flame proofed or not, or whether plastered or unplastered.
The IHP SNAP-PAK Chimney is intended for use on any residential and building heating appliance burning gas, liquid
or solid fuels such as fireplace stoves, furnaces, ranges, room heaters, or as defined in columns I and II, Table 2-2.1,
NFPA 211. Contact Local Building or Fire Officials about restrictions and Installation Inspection in your area.
WARNING: IHP SNAP-PAK Chimney is not designed for use on products that operate at continuous temperatures
in excess of 1,000°F.
Except for installation in one and two family dwellings, a factory-built chimney that extends through any zone above that
on which the connected appliance is located is to be provided with an enclosure having a fire resistance rating equal to
or greater than that of the floor or roof assemblies through which it passes.
WARNING: IF DECORATIVE SHROUDS ARE BEING USED WITH IHP CHIMNEY, REFERENCE THE SNAP-PAK ADDENDUM L3005.
IMPORTANT: FOR OIL OR COAL BURNING APPLIANCES, OUTSIDE THE ENVELOPE OF THE BUILDING, USE ONLY PIPE WITH

OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Use only U.L. Listed products and INSTALL ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
• The chimney must be sized in accordance with the appliance manufacturer's instructions.
• Formation of Creosote and Soot and the need for removal.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
create creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of the slow burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney should be inspected at least once every two (2) months during the heating season to determine if
a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney fire.
• Do not use fireplace for food grill. Grease from foods can collect in chimney causing fireplace to become a potential fire
hazard.
• On airtight stoves, open dampers and let equipment burn hot for 15 to 20 minutes. This should be done every time
fuel is added. This lessens the chance of creosote buildup.
• Some chemical chimney cleaners can be harmful to the chimney. These cause accelerated oxidation or corrosion.
If chemical cleaners are used, they must be non-corrosive in nature. If brush is used, it must be of proper size with
plastic bristles.
PAINT TOUCH-UP
• The flat-black paint used on painted parts may be touched up,as required, with Stove Bright
