INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY

FIREPLACE

1. Have the masonry chimney inspected

by a certified chimney sweep or installer to

determine its structural condition.

2. Carefully read the pellet stove or insert

installation instructions.

3. Measure and record the dimensions as

shown in (Figure 18).

4. Use dimension “A” to determine total pipe

requirements. Add 12 additional inches to

ensure the termination is an adequate distance

above the roofline.

5. The gross pipe required will be dimension

“A” plus 12 inches. Five feet of this will be Flex

Pipe. The remainder will be rigid pipe. For

each joint, subtract 1-1/2 inches to allow for

the overlap. You may need extra pipe, or an

adjustable length pipe section to achieve the

correct height.

6. Assemble the first rigid Pipe Section to

the Flex Pipe, ensuring that the “UP” arrows

shown on the pipe labels are, in fact, pointing

up. Push the sections together and twist to

lock. Screws are not required for a firm lock,

however, should it be desired to use them, use

stainless steel sheet metal screws 1/4-inch

long - do not penetrate the inner liner of the

pipe.

7. Repeat this process for the remainder of

the pipe sections, and lower the assembly

down the chimney as shown in (Figure 19).

Lower it below its normal position in order
