CHIMNey INSTaLLaTION
In order to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the
fireplace, it is very important to properly install the chimney.
This is an important part of the installation and the sections
of this manual pertaining to chimney installation should be
reviewed very thoroughly.
For your safety, some of the important things to remember
in regard to chimneys are listed below:
1. Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this
fireplace.
. Use only undamaged parts and accessories.
3. Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living
spaces to prevent contact with and possible damage to
the chimney.
4. Install firestop spacers at each ceiling level.
5. Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on
the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris
into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of
smoke.
6. Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.
NOTe:
To select the proper chimney height, refer to
Figure
3
. The flue outlet must be a minimum of three feet above
the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof
and a minimum of two feet above all portions of the build-
ing within ten feet. If the chimney is to include elbows to
offset the chimney, refer to the Chimney Offset and Cap
Installation section of this manual. There must be at least
two inches air space between all sections of the chimney
and combustible materials between floors.
