Installation 

 

The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner (rigid or flexible) listed liner or flexible liner to 

ULC-S635, ULC-S640 or UL777 of the same diameter as the outlet of the fireplace. 

 

Follow these steps:  

1.  Position the fireplace in its location. Temporarily install the elbow on the top of the fireplace and, using a 

level, mark with an oval the location where the flue liner will enter the masonry chimney. 

2.  In the middle of the oval, drill a hole in the masonry chimney at 45 or 30 

3.  Increase the size of the hole until a 45 or 30 liner elbow can be easily slipped through. 

4.  Slide the liner down from the top of the masonry chimney until you reach the hole level. 

5.  Slip through the hole a 45 or 30 liner elbow and connect it to the liner. 

6.  Add a small liner section to the liner elbow which will allow the liner to extend at least 12” (measured at 

the top of the liner) from the masonry chimney. 

7.  Seal the opening around the liner with high temperature refractory cement. 

8.  The next steps must be done in the following order: 

8.1  Select the length that will fit between the elbow and the liner so that it will slide at least 2” over the 

liner section. (you may need to cut the liner for a better fit) 

8.2  Take that section and slide it over the liner. Make sure you have enough opening to be able to install 

the elbow without difficulty. 

8.3  Install the 45 or 30 elbow on the fireplace. 
8.4  Slide the length section back down on the elbow and twist lock the two together. 
8.5  Pull the cover down over the length and install the insulation pad over the liner; be careful to cover the 

liner completely. 

8.6  Slide back the cover over the insulation and fix it in place using the 3 screws supplied.
