For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 14A & 14B on page 14, it will be necessary to purchase a
12" (305mm) long (8" (203mm) inside diameter), section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase
a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.
The safety features of this system are two fold: 1) A 2" (51mm) air space between the chimney section and combustible wall; and, 2)
The 1" (25mm) air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the chimney section to the chimney.
The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18" (457mm) vertical clearance between the
connector pipe and the ceiling to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.
Measure as shown in Figure 13A. Cut an opening in the wall large enough to accommodate the outside dimension of the chimney
section plus the minimum air space specified by its manufacturer. It may be necessary to cut the wall studs and install a header
and a sill frame to maintain the wall support. The hole in the chimney must have at least an 8" (203mm) diameter fire clay liner
or equivalent, secured with refractory mortar. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from
shattering.
WARNING! ALWAYS FOLLOW CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE STOVE AND CEILING OR WALL, NEVER
PASSING THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE CEILING OR WALL. THE CONNECTOR SHALL NOT PASS THROUGH AN ATTIC OR
ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR A FLOOR, OR CEILING. MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES
TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REFERENCED ON PAGES 6 & 7.
