•
Proper joint assembly is essential for a safe installation.
•
Follow these instructions exactly as written.
•
Check tightness of joints upon completion of assembly.
•
This venting system must be free to expand and contract.
•
This venting system must be supported in accordance with these instructions.
•
Check for unrestricted vent movement through walls, ceilings, and roof penetrations.
•

Page 4: Clearance To Combustibles
ICC Model VIP+ chimney may penetrate a combustible floor or roof using the appropriate parts and openings sizes. See section Roof and Floor Penetrations for more details. -
Page 5: Chimney Sizing
Complete chimney system sizing and capacity may be obtained from the “Chimney, Gas Vent, and Fireplace Systems” chapter of the ASHRAE Handbook. You may also contact ICC Chimneys customer’s service for system sizing assistance. In spite of any sizing guidelines, when sizing ex- haust systems, it is most important that the heating appliance, engine or turbine manufacturer’s installation instructions be followed. -
Page 6: Operation And Maintenance
Installation is to be in accordance with local building code requirements and National Codes. Size the vent in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. ICC will calculate correct vent sizing on request. Make sure you read the appliance installation instructions for vent limitations such as maximum horizontal length, maximum number of elbows, total vent height, common venting option, and other limitations that may affect the design and installation of this vent. -
Page 7: Chimney Joint Connection
Chimney Joint Connection Surface Preparation All components have a male and a female end. The installation orientation is indicated on the labeling of each pipe section with an arrow. The arrow indicates the direction of the exhaust gases. Clean all inner and outer surfaces of male and female ends with an appropriate organic solvent, such as acetone or other commercial degreaser before applying a sealant. -
Page 8: Joint Assembly - Low Temperature (600°F Max) Applications
Joint Assembly – Low temperature (600°F Max) Applications Figure 1 Step 1 : Apply one bead of X-TRASIL HD #4706-3 red silicone on the male end of the flue just under the formed bead. Step 2 : Slip the top chimney male end into the expanded side of the lower chimney. Refer to chimney label for flue gases direction. Step 3 : Assemble the flue locking band and secure by tightening the bolt . -
Page 9: Joint Assembly - High Temperature (Above 600°F) Applications
Joint Assembly – High Temperature (Above 600°F) Applications Figure 4 Step 1 : Apply one bead of Fortafix Ceramix TC on the male end of the flue approximately 3/8” under the formed bead. Step 2 : Slip the top chimney male end into the expanded side of the lower chimney. Refer to chimney label for flue gases direction. Step 3 : Apply a second Bead of Fortafix Ceramix TC just above the formed bead when chimneys are joined together (before interior locking band assembly) Step 4 : Assemble the interior locking band around the flue and secure by tightening the bolt . -
Page 10: Structural Supports And Guides
Structural Supports and Guides Several supporting and guiding methods can be used to anchor a chimney for horizontal, vertical and offset displacement. These supports and guides used with thermal expansion devices prevent bending stresses on the chimney elbows and joints. (see Thermal Expansion Section for details) Supports and guiding methods are described in this Section. -
Page 11: Wall Support
Wall Support The Wall Support can be used on any floor level as a Vertical or Horizontal support. When used to support the chimney in vertical runs, it is attached to the wall by means of anchors (by others, Ø 5/16” anchors or bolts min. size). It can also be used to support a horizontal run anchored on a ceiling or a non- combustible rigid structural brace (by... -
Page 12: Wall Guide
Wall Guide The Wall Guide is used as a lateral guide to resist lateral load. It does not carry any vertical chimney weight. It also maintains the minimum clearance to combustibles. (which can be adjusted from 2" to 6") It can also be used to stabilize the chimney horizontally. -
Page 13: Support Methods And System Design Limits
Support Methods and System Design Limits The supporting and guiding design parameters presented in this section must be closely followed to insure that your venting system is properly designed. Chimney must be supported (with base or wall support) at least every (MCH) feet and guided at least every (MVS) feet. A horizontal run must be supported (with a base or wall support) at least every (MHS) feet. -
Page 14: Rigid Structural Brace Specifications
Rigid Structural Brace Specifications When necessary a Support Assembly must be secured to the building with a rigid structural framework. Satisfactory performance and service life of VIP+ Chimney Systems requires the product be rigidly braced and supported. Every installation presents unique support and bracing requirements and the following guidelines will provide minimum acceptable sizes for the mechanical hardware supplied by others. -
Page 15: Guy Wire
Figure 19 Figure 20 Guy Wire The Guy Wires Sections are used where the chimney extends more than 6' above the roof. For roof installations where freestanding height limits are exceeded, Rigid Roof Braces and Cable Bracings are required to resist heavy wind conditions and prevent structural damage. -
Page 16: Roof And Floor Penetrations

Combustible Roof Penetration – 1400°F Chimney (UL 2561 & ULC C-959 Listings) * The instructions in this section are valid for appliances with venting flue gases at temperatures not exceeding 760°C (1400°F) under continuous operating conditions from gas, liquid, oil or solid fuel fired appliances. Also complies with brief operation (maximum 10 minutes) at temperatures not exceeding 906°C (1700°F). -
Page 19: Thermal Expansion
Thermal Expansion General Considerations When Model VIP+ is in use, thermal expansion will occur on the inner flue and outer casing. A good estimation for thermal expansion is approximately 1" per 100' chimney length per 100°F of temperature rise between the flue gases and the surroundings temperatures. -
Page 20: Bellows Joint
Bellows Joint For exhaust pressure up to 60 inches of water column, it will compensate for up to 3" max of expansion. See Table 10 for maximum run with one bellow. Bellow Joints comes with a liner to protect the bellow and to have a smooth flow. -
Page 21: Expansion Length
Expansion Length The expansion length is used to make odd lengths and/or • to serve as an expansion joint. The expansion length may be used when internal • pressure do not exceed 6" water column. The expansion length assembly contains a sliding Upper •... -
Page 22: Expansion Joints Installation
Expansion Joints Installation Bellows Joint and Expansion Length in vertical runs A Bellows Joint or Expansion Length installed vertically should be installed directly below the highest support or one pipe length below, between fixed points. See Figure 36 - 37 Always use Bellows Joints or Expansion Lengths between fixed points when expansion is over 1/4”. - Page 23 Figure 36 Model VIP+ Owner's Manual...

Page 26: Fan Adapter
Fan Adapter The Fan Adapter (Figure 38) is generally used to connect an up-blast fan installed on a roof curb or a site built support structure. The size of the plate can be customized to fit the fan and/or roof curb. When connected to Up-Blast fan an up-blast fan (Figure 39), the plate mounts (by others) -
Page 27: Cleanout And Maintenance
3.7 m (12ft). ICC recommends that grease containers connected to drainage points be emptied and washed out daily or more often, if necessary. If needed, the drain nipples should be checked and cleaned whenever the containers are emptied. -
Page 28: Wyes And Tees (Cleanout)
Wyes and Tees (Cleanout) Special care must be taken when designing a Grease Duct to provide access for cleanout and comply with NFPA 96 requirements. Inspection and cleanout points can be equipped with a dam at the access port. The access port must be closed with a tee cap and the grease dam prevents grease spillage when opened. -
