Chase Installation:
(See
Figure
4).
A chase is
an
enclosure built specifically to house a
chimney. The interior of a chase is open from the BUCKMATE
to
the rool, eliminating the
need to cut through ceilings and the roof. Normally, a chase is built outside and against H'e
exterior wall
01
a home. A hole is cut through the wall, and the BUCKMATE is located in
He
bottom
of
the chase, with the front of the unit flush with the interior wall. Chases are
commonly veneered on the outside with brick, stone or wood
to
give the appearance of a
conventional fireplace flue. Occasionally, they are built inside and boxed in, similar to a
stairwell. When making a chase installation, it
Is
important to read the chimney manufa::>
turer's
instructions
prior
to
building, as there are specific requirements for bracing a Ire'}-
standing flue that must be planned for. There are also occasions where
olfsets
are used
within
a chase to accommodate unusual building designs, or to locate the BUCKMATE
further
into
a room.
NOTE: Chases require waterproof covers that are not commercially available due to
the
nonstandard designs of chases. Make sure that units fabricated by local sheet metal
shops completely overhang the chase and all masonry. Otherwise, rain leakage or frecz-
Ing and fracturing of standing water will occur.
