ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists of
a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel in-
ner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections
must be assembled independently as chimney
is installed. When connecting chimney directly
to fireplace, inner flue pipe section must be
installed first with lanced side up. Outer pipe
section can then be installed over flue pipe
section with hemmed end up. Press down
on each pipe section until lances securely
engage hem on fireplace starter. Wire will
assure proper spacing between inner and
outer pipe sections.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as
outlined above, making sure both inner and
outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall snap-lock chimney to-
gether, it is important to assure joint between
chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking. Chimney will
not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessary to add screws to keep chimney
together (exception, see Figure 9, page 8).

CHIMNEY PIPE
FMI PRODUCTS, LLC chimney system
consists of 12", 18", 24", 36"' and 48" snap-
lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned
for maximum adaptability to individual site
requirements. Actual lengths gained after fit-
ting overlaps must be taken into consideration
(lineal gain) and are given in lineal gain chart
(see Figure 6). Lineal gain is the actual mea-
surable length of a part after two or more parts
are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts
designated "HT".
WARNING: The opening in the
collar around the chimney at the
top of the fireplace must not be
obstructed. Never use blown insula-
tion to fill the chimney enclosure.
