ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF 

DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Each double wall chimney section consists of 

a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel in-

ner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections 

must be assembled independently as chimney 

is installed. When connecting chimney directly 

to fireplace, inner flue pipe section must be 

installed first with lanced side up. Outer pipe 

section can then be installed over flue pipe 

section  with  hemmed  end  up.  Press  down 

on  each  pipe  section  until  lances  securely 

engage  hem  on  fireplace  starter.  Wire  will 

assure  proper  spacing  between  inner  and 

outer pipe sections.

Continue to assemble chimney sections as 

outlined above, making sure both inner and 

outer pipe sections are locked together. When 

installing double wall snap-lock chimney to-

gether, it is important to assure joint between 

chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling 

chimney upward after locking. Chimney will 

not  come  apart  if  properly  locked.  It  is  not 

necessary  to  add  screws  to  keep  chimney 

together (exception, see Figure 9, page 8).

CHIMNEY PIPE

FMI  PRODUCTS,  LLC  chimney  system 

consists of 12", 18", 24", 36"' and 48" snap-

lock,  double-wall  pipe  segments,  planned 

for  maximum  adaptability  to  individual  site 

requirements. Actual lengths gained after fit-

ting overlaps must be taken into consideration 

(lineal gain) and are given in lineal gain chart 

(see Figure 6). Lineal gain is the actual mea-

surable length of a part after two or more parts 

are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts 

designated "HT".

 WARNING: The opening in the 

collar around the chimney at the 

top  of  the  fireplace  must  not  be 

obstructed. Never use blown insula-

tion to fill the chimney enclosure.
