Chimney Systems
D. Masonry Chimney
• Must meet minimum standards of NFPA 211.
• Must have at least 5/8 inch (16mm) reclay lining joined
with refractory cement.
NOTE: Installations into a clay flue without a
stainless steel liner may reduce draw which affects
performance, will cause the glass to darken and
produce excessive creosote and create start-up
issues.
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular
block, must be a minimum of 4 inches (102mm) nominal
thickness.
• A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12 inches
(305mm) thick.
• Cross-sectional area shall conform to NFPA 211-2006
Section 12.4.5.1.
• Should be lined with a 6 inch (152mm) stainless steel
ue liner to improve performance and reduce creosote
build-up and difculty starting a re.
• An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system
or other approved material.
• No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.
1. Secure the replace damper in the open position. If
this cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to
remove the damper
2. Seal damper area of chimney around chimney
connector with a high temperature sealant or seal
insert against the face of the replace.
3. Both methods must be removable and replaceable
for cleaning and re-installation.
• When possible, install an airtight clean-out door to the
rear of the smoke shelf.
A. Venting Systems
Chimney Connector:
It is also known as ue pipe or stove pipe. It must be
6 inches (152mm) minimum diameter stainless steel
connector pipe.
Chimney:
The chimney can be new or existing, masonry or
prefabricated and must meet the following minimum
requirements as specied below.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!

B. Inspections
Existing chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by a
qualied professional prior to installation. The chimney
must not have cracks, loose mortar or other signs of dete-
rioration and blockage. Hearth & Home recommends a
NFI or CSIA certied professional or a technician, under
the direction of a certied professional, conduct a Level II
inspection per NFPA 211.
Fire Risk
Inspection of Chimney:
• Chimney must be in good condition.
• Meets minimum standard of NFPA 211
• Factory-built chimney must be 6 inch
(152mm) UL103 HT.
WARNING
NOTICE: Check with your local building authorities
and/or consult the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA 211).
C. Larger Chimneys
Hearth & Home recommends that chimneys with larger
diameters than 6 inches (152mm) be fully relined. An over-
sized ue can affect draft and impair performance and will
allow increased build-up of creosote which is why a full reline
is stongly recommended.
NOTE: Masonry chimneys are signicantly less than ideal
for venting solid fuel appliances. A masonry chimney is not
subject to any temperature limit test, therefore a full reline
is strongly recommended.
