MASONRY CHIMNEY
Have your chimney inspected by a professional chimney sweep or Fire Department Inspector before
connecting to it for use. Masonry chimneys should only be used if they are in good condition and
have been built according to NFPA 211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-
Burning Appliances) in the USA or CSA B365 (Installation code for solid-fuel-burning appliances
and equipment) in Canada.
1. There should be a horizontal opening into the chimney through a non-combustible wall. Fit the
Masonry Adapter (J) into this hole. Attach the adapter collar (K) to the masonry wall using screws
and masonry anchors (not supplied). Seal the joint between the collar and the masonry wall with
a high temperature silicone caulking (see Detail E).
2. When installing Vortex Double Wall connector Pipe into a relined masonry chimney, follow
the procedure as above, making sure the masonry adapter slides onto the tee take-off by at least
2 inches. Firmly attach using 3 self-tapping screws or a Quick Connector™ (sold separately).
3. Attach connector pipe to appliance using previous instructions.
