1. Refer to Figure 1 for an example of a typical installation of the replace components.
2. Be sure the location of the replace will provide the required clearances indicated by Figures 2, 3, & 5 and
the minimum chimney air space clearance to combustibles of two inches.
3. Set the replace in the desired location and be sure it is securely supported and leveled. Check the face
of the replace with a carpenter’s level and if it is not plumb; correct it by placing shims under the edges
of the replace.

the anges located on each side of the replace. Do not enclose the replace until the combustion air duct
and chimney pipes are installed.

In order to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the replace, it is very important to properly install the
chimney. This is an important part of the installation and the sections of this manual pertaining to chimney
installation should be reviewed very thoroughly.
For your safety, some of the important things to remember in regard to chimneys are listed below:
1. Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this replace.
2. Use only undamaged parts and accessories.
3. Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living spaces to prevent contact with and possible dam-
age to the chimney.
4. Install restop spacers at each ceiling level.
5. Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris
into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.
6. Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.
NOTE: To select the proper chimney height, refer to Figure 1. The ue outlet must be a minimum of three feet
above the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of two feet above all portions
of the building within ten feet. If the chimney is to include elbows to offset the chimney, refer to the Chimney
Offset and Cap Installation section of this manual. There must be at least two inches air space between all
sections of the chimney and combustible materials between oors.
