C. Assemble the Chimney Sections
Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the
top of the replace (depending on your installation require-
ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing
downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the
lower section.
The inner ue is placed to the inside of the ue section below
it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. See Figure 5.4.
Figure 5.4
Assembling Chimney Sections
Note: Inner ue and outer liner sections cannot be disas-
sembled once locked together. Plan ahead to ensure the
proper installation height is achieved with the selected
chimney components.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Do NOT install substitute or damaged
chimney components.
•
MUST use chimney system described in
this manual.
•
NO OTHER chimney components may
be used.
Substitute or damaged chimney components
may impair safe operation.
D. Install the Ceiling Firestops
•
Mark and cut an opening in the ceiling for the spacer being
used. See Figure 5.5.
•
Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the
ceiling joists.
•
Install the ceiling restop.

Note: The ceiling restop MUST be nailed to the bottom
of the ceiling joists EXCEPT when the space above is
uninsulated and the attic insulation shield is not being used
(see Figure 5.5). When the attic insulation shield is used
the ceiling restop may be above or below the joist of an
insulated ceiling.

Installing the Ceiling Firestop
Note: You must provide support for the pipe during con-
struction and check to be sure inadvertent loading has not
dislodged the chimney section from the replace or at any
chimney joint.
CAUTION
•
Ceiling restops must be used at ceiling/ oor.
•
Chase construction requires ceiling restops at each
oor or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.
•
Use same dimensional lumber as joists.
Ceiling restop slows spread of re and reduces cold air
in ltration.
