Chimney Connection

MASONRY CHIMNEY

Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the chimney 
and inspect the 

fl

 ue liner to be sure it is safe to use.  Make repairs 

before attaching the furnace. The connector pipe and 

fi

 ttings you 

will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown.
The chimney connection should be as short as possible.
If the connector pipe must go through a combustible wall be-
fore entering the masonry chimney, consult a quali

fi

 ed mason 

or chimney dealer.  The installation must conform to local 

fi

 re 

codes, and N.F.P.A. 211.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS FURNACE TO A CHIMNEY 

FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

The chimney used for a furnace must not be used to ventilate the 
cellar or basement.  If there is a cleanout opening at the base of 
the chimney, close it tightly.

LISTED FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY     

Carefully follow chimney manufacturer's instructions.  Use only a 
Listed Residential Type or Building Heating Appliance Chimney.  
If your chimney starts at the ceiling (Fig. 7), you will need enough 
6" pipe to reach the ceiling.
The top of the chimney must be at least 3 feet above the roof 
and be at least 2 feet higher than any point of the roof within 10 
feet (Fig. 7).

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through 
the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the 
length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and 
other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures 
in the appliance and may damage. Inadequate draft may cause 
backpuf

fi

 ng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.

“Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the 
room through appliance and chimney connector joints.”
“An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates 
excessive draft.”
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too 
close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or 
nuisance conditions.
