U.S. Requirements:
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has
established guidelines for use in the United States for
passing chimney connectors through combustible walls.
Many building code inspectors follow these guidelines.
Figure 9 shows one NFPA-approved method. All com-
bustible material in the wall is cut away to provide 12”
(305 mm) clearance to the connector. Brick and mortar
are used to enclose the clearance area.
Alternate methods approved by the NFPA:
• Using a section of double-wall chimney with a 9”
(229 mm) clearance to combustibles. (Fig. 10)
• Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a steel
double-wall ventilated thimble, which is then sepa-
rated from combustibles by 6” (152 mm) of fiberglass
insulating material. (Fig. 11)
• Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a section of
9” (229 mm) diameter, solid-insulated, factory-built
chimney, with two inches of air space between the
chimney section and combustibles. (Fig. 12)
Canadian Requirements:
In Canada, the Canadian Standards Association has
established specific guidelines regarding wall pass-
though design. Figure 13 shows one approved method
in which all combustible material in the wall is cut away
to provide the required 18” (457 mm) clearance around
the connector. The resulting space must remain empty.
A flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one
side only. If covers must be used on both sides, each
cover must be mounted on noncombustible spacers at
least 1” (25 mm) clear of the wall. Your local dealer or
your local building inspector can provide details of other
approved methods of passing a chimney connector
through a combustible wall.
In Canada, this type of installation must conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burn-
ing Appliances and Equipment.
