FREESTANDING INSTALLATION (Cont.)

Cathedral Ceiling Installation

When installing a freestanding stove into a residence with a cathedral ceiling, certain precautions should
be taken to insure a safe installation. The directions below illustrate one way to install your freestanding
stove into a cathedral ceiling with a factory-built chimney. There are several other alternative methods.
Check with your dealer or installer for information on other options available to you.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT NO CEILING
SUPPORT MEMBER BE CUT FOR CHIMNEY
AND SUPPORT BOX INSTALLATION. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO CUT THEM, THE MEMBERS
MUST BE MADE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
1. Make sure the factory-built chimney
satisfies all of the rules in the section titled
"CHIMNEY INFORMATION &
REGULATIONS".
2. Follow all of the regulations and guidelines
specified in the sections titled
"FREESTANDING INSTALLATION -
SPECIFICATIONS" and "PREPARATION
FOR INSTALLATION - FREESTANDING".
3. Carefully place the stove on top of the floor
protection and join the chimney connector
to the stove. When determining the
placement of the stove, make sure to take
into consideration the necessary
clearances to combustibles and the
placement of the chimney.
NOTE: In rooms with cathedral
ceilings, the roof and ceiling are
combined . For this type of installation,
manufacturers of factory-built chimneys
provide a special cathedral ceiling roof
support kit with instructions that should
be followed.
IMPORTANT: Because of the slope of the cathedral ceiling, care should be taken to extend the chimney
sufficiently far into the room so that the chimney connector will meet the minimum clearances requirement
from the sloped combustible ceiling. The greater the pitch of the ceiling, the further into the room the
chimney section must extend. Use the concepts from "CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS" to
accurately measure the appropriate distance from a sloping ceiling.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to follow all guidelines provided by the manufacturer of the chimney for safety
in installation.
