Install only in a masonry replace with a good-condition chimney at least 15 ft (4.6 m) high, both of 
which have been constructed in accordance with the building code. Refer to Tables 4 and 7 for minimum 
masonry replace dimensions. Be sure the replace and chimney are clean and sound without any cracks 
or loose mortar. Do not remove any bricks or mortar from the replace.
If there is a combustible oor in front of the 
masonry replace, the replace insert must 
be 8”  (203 mm) above the  combustible 
oor, and oor protection must be provided 
18” (457 mm) in front of the replace insert 
and 8” (203 mm) to each side of the unit.

a 6” stainless steel liner that goes directly to 
the top of the chimney and is covered with 
a rain cap. The chimney top is sealed with 
a  ashing  or  steel  plate  that  supports  the 
weight of the chimney liner. The installation 
must conform to the liner’s manufacturer’s 
instructions.
This  replace  must  be  installed  with  a 
continuous  liner  of  6”  diameter  (CANADA

insert  to  the  top  of  the  chimney.  The 
chimney liner must conform to the Class 3
