SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE

For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in 

Figures 14A & 14B on page 14

, it will be necessary to 

purchase a 12” (305mm) long 8" (203mm) inside diameter, section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a 
thimble.  Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.

The safety features of this system are twofold:  1) A 2" (51 mm) air space between the chimney section and combustible 

wall;  and,  2)  The  1"  (25mm)  air  space  around  the  chimney  connector  as  it  passes  through  the  chimney  section  to 
the chimney.

The  location  of  the  opening  through  the  wall  to  the  chimney  must  leave  a  minimum  18"  (457mm)  vertical  clearance 

between  the  connector  pipe  and  the  ceiling  (or  minimum  recommended  from  pipe  manufacturer)  to  prevent  the 
ceiling from catching fire.

Measure for the center-line as shown in 

Figure 12A 

below.  Cut an opening in the wall large enough to accommodate the 

outside dimension of the chimney section plus the minimum air space specified by its manufacturer.  It may be necessary 
to cut the wall studs and install a header and a sill frame to maintain the wall support.  The hole in the chimney must have 
at least an 8" (203mm) diameter fire clay liner or equivalent, secured with refractory mortar.  If it is necessary to cut a hole 
in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering.
