7. Attic Insulation Shield
An insulation shield should be installed when there
is a possibility of insulation coming into contact with
the factory built chimney system.
Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation
shield inward. This will help keep the chimney
section centered in the shield.
Position the shield over the vertical chimney
section where it penetrates a firestop spacer.
Slide the shield down until it rests on the firestop
spacer. The firestop spacer will support the
insulation shield. See Figure 29.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE.
8. Double-check the Chimney Assembly
Continue assembling the chimney sections up through
the firestop spacers as needed. While doing so, be
aware of the height and unsupported chimney length
limitations that are given on page 11 under “Chimney
Requirements”.
Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top
to ensure proper engagement before installing the
succeeding sections. If they have been connected
correctly, they will not disengage when tested.

CAUTION:
9. Secure the Chimney System
When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe
sections, they must be locked into position with the
screws provided (outer only), using the predrilled holes.
To prevent gravity from pulling the chimney sections
apart, the returns and the chimney stabilizers have
straps for securing these parts to joists or rafters. See
Figure 30.
Note:
You must provide support for the pipe dur-
ing construction and check to be sure inadvertent
loading has not dislodged the chimney section from
the fireplace or at any chimney joint.

WARNING!
WARNING!
Maintain a minimum of 2” air clearance to all
parts of the chimney system at all times!
