airtight, noncombustible seal, like a steel plate (remov

-

able for inspection); this also satisfies the requirement 

that no room air must be allowed to enter the chimney. 
Kaowool, mineral wool or equivalent non-combustible 
insulation  may  be  installed  on  top  of  the  plate  to  help 

minimize condensation. (Install a rain cap on the top of 

the chimney).

Installing to a Prefabricated Chimney

When  venting  your  Oakwood  using  a  prefabricated 

chimney, be sure to contact local building code authori-

ties, and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions 

exactly

.  

Use only the manufacturer’s parts; do not use makeshift 

installation techniques.  All prefabricated chimneys must 
be tested to either the U.S. or Canadian high-temperature 

standards, UL 103 or ULC-629.

 

Existing Masonry Chimneys

If  you  plan  on  using  an  existing  masonry  chimney, 

have  it  thoroughly  inspected  and  cleaned.   Any  faults 
which make the chimney unsafe and unusable must be 
repaired prior to use.  These can include improper height, 
structural  defects,  blockages,  inadequate  clearance  to 
combustibles, unsealed openings into other rooms of the 
house,  signs  of  creosote  or  smoke  leakage,  a  loose  or 
absent clean-out door, or absence of a liner.

Do  not  connect  to  any  air  distribution

 

 duct or system

Venting to a Masonry Chimney

When  connecting  to  a  masonry  chimney,  several 

provisions are standard.  First, whether the chimney con-
nector is vented to the chimney through a thimble or a 
breech pipe, neither must pass beyond the inner surface 

of the chimney liner, and both must be firmly cemented 

in place with refractory cement.  (A thimble is a masonry 

pipe which is inserted through the chimney wall, and is 
frequently the preferred method; a breech pipe is a piece 
of steel pipe used the same way.)  In Canada, a breech pipe 

has ridges or protrusions to lock it firmly into the refrac

-

tory cement.  In either case, the chimney connector vents 
to the chimney through the thimble or breech pipe.

Using a thimble, the connector slides completely inside 

the masonry to the inner edge of the flue liner, and may 

be easily removed for chimney and connector inspection.  

A breech pipe must extend at least 2" (50 mm) into the 

room, so the connector can be attached with sheetmetal 
screws.

Venting to a Masonry Fireplace Chimney

In some situations, a code compliant chimney originally 

used for a masonry fireplace may be used to install your 

Oakwood. In addition to the requirements found in the 
previous paragraphs, it is important to be aware that all 
clearances must be met, including those from the chimney 

connector to combustibles — 18" (360 mm) to sides and 

18" (450 mm) to ceiling.  Do not forget to include floor 

protection  in  your  plans.    (See  Clearances  and  Floor 

Protection in this section.)  Since many fireplaces have 

exposed wooden mantels and trim, pay special attention 
to the clearances necessary to these materials.

If your fireplace chimney is behind a combustible wall, 

you must use an approved wall pass-through system to 
gain access to the masonry chimney.  The chimney con-
nector must enter the chimney at a place where it is lined, 

and the fireplace must be made inoperable.  For example, 

you might remove the damper, replacing it with a secure, 

ventIng
