All-Fuel Chimney - 5" to 8" Installation Instructions
Hart & Cooley, Inc.
Before beginning the installation, ensure that you obtain
any necessary building permits, and that your installation
will conform with all federal and municipal building code
requirements.
The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211
states: Factory-built chimneys that pass through floors of
buildings requiring the protection of vertical opening shall
be enclosed with approved walls having a fire-resistance
rating of not less than one hour where such chimneys are
located in a building less than four stories in height, and
not less than two hours where such chimneys are located
in a building four or more stories in height.
The chimney must extend not less than 3 feet above the
highest point where it passes through the roof of a
building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the
building within 10 feet (Figure 1). See Chart 2 - Chimney
Height Above the Roof on page 17 of these instructions.
The use of Locking Bands at all chimney joints is
required for added safety, stability when exposed to high
winds, and as a precaution against accidental unlocking
of lengths when the system is inspected and swept.
The ideal location for your chimney system is within the
building envelope. In cold climates, the use of external
chimneys may result in operational problems, such as
poor draft, excessive condensation of combustion
products, and rapid accumulation of creosote. Under
these circumstances, the installation of the chimney within
the building is strongly recommended.
If the chimney must be installed on an exterior wall, it is
recommended that the chimney be enclosed below the
roof line to protect the chimney from cold outdoor
temperatures; this may help reduce condensation,
creosote formation, and enhance draft. Provide an
access door by the tee cap for chimney inspection and
cleaning. The exterior enclosure may be insulated,
maintaining the required minimum airspace clearance of
2 inches to any part of the chimney. Consult local building
codes for cold-climate application.
Do not install the chimney directly at the outlet of the
appliance. Interconnecting stovepipe is required, unless
the appliance is specifically approved for that type of
installation.
Use only with an appliance listed by a recognized testing
authority, such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. or
Intertek Testing Services.
The flue diameter of gas or oil-fired appliance should
comply with the appropriate NFPA or ANSI Installation
Codes, NFPA 54, ANSIZ223.1, and NFPA31.

OR RUN ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING WITHIN
