Connection Above the Fireplace
In this installation, the chimney connector enters the
fireplace flue though a thimble located above the fire-
place. The liner of the fireplace chimney should extend
at least to the point at which the chimney connector
enters the chimney. Follow all the guidelines for install-
ing a chimney connector into a freestanding masonry
chimney, and pay special attention to these additional
points:
•
Check the stove and chimney connector clearances
to combustible mantel and trim materials. If neces-
sary, use a combination of mantel, trim, and connec-
tor heat shields to provide the required clearances.
•
Double-check connector clearance to the ceiling.
•
The fireplace damper must be closed and sealed to
prevent room air from being drawn up the flue which
could reduce performance. However, it must be
possible to reopen the damper to inspect or clean
the chimney.
Connection Through the Fireplace
If your fireplace opening height is at least 21¹⁄₂" (546
mm), you may install a stove through the opening us-
ing a “positive connection” kit available from your local
dealer. These kits provide a secure connection be-
tween the stove flue collar and the chimney flue.
Confirm that the stove location is within the required
clearance specifications for the mantel and surrounding
fireplace trim. Refer to Page 12.
Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace
installations. Refer to Page 9.
Wall Pass-throughs
Whenever possible, design the installation so that the
connector does not pass through a combustible wall.
If you must include a wall pass-through in your instal-
lation, check with your building inspector before you
begin. Also check with the chimney connector manu-
facturer for any specific requirements.
Consult with your dealer regarding special connection
components available for use as wall pass-throughs.
Use only parts that have been tested and listed for use
as a wall pass-through.
