CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, floor
and roof where the chimney will pass (see
Figure 31
).
Use a plumb-bob to line up the
center of the holes. The sizes are indicated
in
Table 2
for the floor and ceiling holes and
Table 3
(
Page 22
)
for the roof holes.
2. From below, install a firestop in each ceiling/
floor separation through which the chimney
will pass. At the attic level, install an attic
radiation shield from above
(
Figure 32a
)
.
3. For ASHT+

chimneys place
the first chimney length on the fireplace.
Secure it to the collar with four screws equally
spaced around the perimeter. With the AC
chimney, you must use a starter section
before installing the first chimney length
(
Figure 33
).
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. When installing a
support, slightly lift the chimney system so
the weight will lie on the support, not on the
fireplace to reduce expansion noises (Refer
to instructions included with the support).
5. Then, put the roof flashing in place and seal
the joint between the roof and the flashing
with roofing pitch (see
Figures 34 and 35
)
.
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 spacers and the storm collar 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. Once the chimney
cap is in place, the roof flashing can be
washed with a solvent or vinegar and then
painted with rust-proof paint.
