FREESTANDING INSTALLATION (Cont.)

Horizontal Installation Into Factory-Built Chimney

When installing a freestanding stove into a residence with horizontal connection to a factory-built
chimney, certain precautions should be taken to insure a safe installation. The directions below illustrate
one way to install your freestanding stove with a horizontal installation into a factory-built chimney. This
requires the use of an insulated tee, a wall support, wall closure plate, wall bands, roof flashing, storm
collar and chimney cap. There are several other alternative methods. Check with your dealer or installer
for information on other options available to you.
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: An exterior chimney is subject to
cold outdoor temperatures, leading to
greater heat loss, creosote
accumulation, and moisture
condensation in the chimney. To reduce
this possibility, the chimney may be
enclosed in a chase. Specified
minimum clearances from combustibles
must be maintained. If the chase is
insulated, the insulated walls should be
sheathed with dry-wall or covered with
wire mesh to keep the insulation in
place. If the chase is to go through an
eaves area, a firestop must be used to
prevent air flow between the chase and
the attic. This is to isolate the chase/attic
area from fire and to prevent attic
insulation from falling into the chase
enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to follow all
guidelines provided by the manufacturer
of the chimney for safety in installation.
