FIREPLACE INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

III. INSTALLATION USING A MASONRY FIREPLACE

Several types of installations can be used to connect the

Sierra Hearthstove to an all masonry fireplace. Two

methods are described here. Method I and Method II meet

NFPA 211* guidelines.
Both methods use a section or sections of stove connector

pipe that connect the stove flue outlet to the fireplace

chimney. Method I is normally used and is generally the

easiest to install. Method II may be used in chimneys that

need a new flue liner.

8887

There are qualified installers in most areas that can install

your stove for you. Sierra recommends that you contact the

National Chimney Sweep Guild for a member in your area

or aks your Sierra Dealer.
