Horizontal Installation

Standard Ceiling Installation

8)

  To complete your chimney installation, install 

the double wall connector pipe from the stove’s 

flue collar to the chimney support device.  

9)

  If you are using a horizontal connector, the 

chimney connector should be as high as pos-

sible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm) 

minimum  distance from the horizontal con-

nector to the ceiling.

10)

NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and 

Alcove installations require a listed double 

wall connector from the stove collar to the 

ceiling level.

The diagrams below illustrate one way to install 

your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizon-

tal connector. Check with your dealer or installer 

for information on other options available to you.

STEP BY STEP  

CHIMNEY AND  

CONNECTOR  

INSTALLATION

Note:  These are a generic set of chimney 

installation instructions.  Always follow 

the manufacturers own instructions 

explicitly. Check the Minimum Recom-

mended Flue Heights section (Table 1).

1) 

With your location already established, cut and 

frame the roof hole. It is recommended that no 

ceiling support member be cut for chimney and 

support box installation. If it is necessary to cut 

them, the members must be made structurally 

sound.

2)

  Install radiant shield and support from above.

3)

  Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish support 

to a minimum height of 3 feet above the roof 

penetration, or 2 feet above any point within 10 

feet measured horizontally.  There must be at 

least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.

Note:  Increasing the chimney height above 

this minimum level will sometimes help 

your unit to “breathe” better by allowing 

a greater draft to be created.  This greater 

draft can decrease problems such as, 

difficult start-ups, back-smoking when 

door is open, and dirty glass.  It might be 

sufficient to initially try with the minimum 

required height, and then if problems 

do arise add additional height at a later 

date.

4) 

  Slide the roof flashing over your chimney and 

seal the flashing to the roof with roofing com

-

pound.  Secure the flashing to your roof with 

nails or screws.

5)

  Place the storm collar over the flashing, sealing 

the joints with a silicone caulking.

6)

  Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if re-

quired) to the top of your chimney.

7) 

For optimum efficiency when installing into a 

masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e.  the 6" 

(152mm) flue dia. is  28.28 sq.in.
