Monaco Installation and Operation Manual
1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, floor and roof where the chimney will pass. Use
a plumb bob to line up the center of the holes. Make sure that the size of the floor and
ceiling holes are in accordance with the chimney manufacturer's instructions.
2. From below, install a firestop (B) supplied by the chimney manufacturer in each
ceiling/floor separation through which the chimney will pass. At the attic level, install a
radiation shield from above (D).
3. Follow the chimney's manufacturers' instructions and place the first chimney length on
the fireplace. For all chimneys, you must use an anchor plate (A) supplied by the
chimney manufacturer before installing the first chimney length. Continue installing
chimney lengths making sure to lock each length in place.
4. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate
firestop. When you reach the desired height, install the roof support (not illustrated).
(Refer to instructions included with the support).
5. Then, put the roof flashing (E) in place and seal the joint between the roof and the
flashing with roofing pitch. For sloping roofs, place the flashing under the upper
shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the flashing to the roof, using roofing
nails.
6. Place the storm collar (F) over the flashing, and tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally,
seal the joint between the storm collar and the chimney, using silicone caulking.
7. Install the chimney cap (G).
8. When a ventilated roof flashing is installed, precautions are to be taken not to caulk or
seal the ventilating openings.
