APPENDIX A
Location of the evaporator
• Position the evaporator so that the centre of the chimney connector (Illustration 1 No. 8) is aligned with the
centre between two roof trusses.
- See Section 3.1.1: Determining the location of the evaporator for more information.
Chimney Clearance
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 18 in. (45.72 cm) between the chimney wall and any nearby wood or other
combustible materials, including those on the roof.
- The minimum clearance may be reduced if a circular metal radiation shield with a diameter larger than 4 in.
(10.16 cm) is installed at the chimney.
o The minimum clearance is then 9 in. (22.86 cm) between the wall of the radiation shield and combustible materials.
IMPORTANT | It is recommended that you contact your insurer in order to validate the compliance of your
installation with its own requirements since they may differ from one insurance company to another.
• It may be necessary to modify the roof structure to respect the minimum required clearance between the
chimney wall and any combustible material.
Before beginning the installation
• Screws and rivets.
- Use rivets or self-tapping screws to connect the chimney sections. Rivets and screws are not included.
• Carefully inspect all sections of your chimney.
• First and last sections to be installed.
- First section to be installed: the first section of your chimney, offered as an option, is equipped with a fitting
for the installation of a thermometer. This section must be the first to be installed on the chimney connector
(Illustration 1 No. 8) of the evaporator.
o Alternatively, you can use a single section (as shown in Illustration 1 No. 7).
- Last section to be installed: The last section of your chimney to be installed must be the one with lugs
(Illustration 1 No. 5) used to receive the steel guide wires.
Installing your chimney
• Install the first section of your chimney on the evaporator chimney connector (Illustration 1 No. 8). Place the plain
end of the pipe against the connector, then the corrugated end upwards.
• Continue installing single chimney sections until one section passes through the roof.
• Then install the roof flashing (Illustration 1 No. 2).
- Make sure the flashing is securely fastened to the roof.
- Use high temperature silicone sealant to ensure that the seal between the flashing and the roof is perfectly
watertight.
• Install the flashing rain tie (Illustration 1 No. 6) on the chimney.
- Leave a 1 in. (2.54 cm) clearance between the top of the flashing and the base of the rain tie.
• Proceed with the final assembly below and install it afterwards.
- Assemble the last two sections and the chimney cap (Illustration 1 No. 4) in the following order: a single section,
the section with lugs (Illustration 1 No. 5), and the chimney rain cap last.
- Attach the steel guide cables (Illustration 1 No. 3) to the lugs of the section.
- If you are using a rope operated rain cap, install the actuator cables from the cap.
• Following the installation of this final chimney assembly, check and adjust its alignment with the part under
the roof, then tighten the guide wires.
