General Steps Of Chimney Installation - J. A. Roby FORGERON CLASSIQUE Instruction Manual

General steps of chimney installation

Use only approved chimneys of the same size as the output of
the appliance, which means 6 inches in the case of this stove.
The chimneys must be tested according to CAN/ULC-S629 in
Canada. The appliance can be installed with a masonry chimney
according to ULC-S635, ULC-S640. The masonry chimney must
be equipped with a stainless steel sleeve and meet the
standards for the masonry chimney with inner sleeve.
Provide a place for sweeping.
It is preferable, if possible, to avoid a chimney built outside of a
house and on an exterior wall, especially in cold regions.
Outside chimneys generally have a less efficient draft. They
can even have down draft since it is hard to reach their
operating temperature. Cold chimneys have tendencies of
greater accumulation of creosote, less efficient draft and worse
efficiency. Draft is proportional to the total chimney height as
well as its temperature. It is therefore possible to get better
draft by increasing the chimney's height and by reducing the
heat loss with insulated lining. Make sure that all pipe joints are
really airtight. A leak reduces the efficiency of the appliance
and could even make its usage dangerous. Using a high
temperature silicon or cement to ensure that the smoke pipe
joint are airtight. If the chimney pass through the exterior wall
or insulated roof be sure the hole after installation needs to be
airtightness. Use sealant to make the building airtight.
Note: This is a general chimney installation method. Make
sure to refer to the manufacturer's manual for more details
of installation of your chimney.
1) Determine the total length necessary for your chimney.
2) Make holes into all floors and roof.
3) If you need to cut a joist, make sure to strengthen the
adjacent joists and frame the hole respecting the
minimum dimensions between combustible materials
and the fireguard.
instructions supplied with the fireguard. Never cut a
loadbearing joist/beam.

4) Frame the holes in each level and attic respecting the
minimum distance recommended by the manufacturer
of your chimney. Install fireguard in each level.
5) Frame the hole into the roof.
6) Install a chimney support and a fireguard in the ceiling
where cook stove is installed.
7) Stack the prefabricated chimney sections on the
support and exceed the roof.
•
The chimney must exceed at least 3 feet (91.4
cm) from the highest point of the hole in the
roof.
•
The chimney must also be at least 2 feet over
the highest point on the roof inside 10 feet
(304 cm) radius around the chimney.
•
The minimum length of chimney is 12 feet
(365.8 cm).
•
ATTENTION: Make sure the chimney parts
are attached properly and lock onto the
chimney support.
•
Note: A chimney longer than the minimum
required can add more draft and help the
operation of the cook stove. Try the
minimum length first then add section if
you need more draft.
8) Put the roof flashing over the chimney and seal it with
roof caulking.
9) Nail the roof flashing.
10) Slide the storm collar over the chimney and fix it. Seal
it with high temperature caulking.
11) Lock the chimney cap and install the spark arrestor if
necessary.
