Ensure Round DuraLiner Pipe section will be
within 12" of the top of the masonry. Secure
Hanger to the top piece of DuraLiner pipe.
Lower the Transition Anchor Plate (T.A.P) and
allow the legs of the Hanger to slide through
the oval slots in the T.A.P. Attach T.A.P. to the
top of the existing masonry with field supplied
hardware. If desired, a bead of 1000°F stove
cement may be used as a gasket for this
surface. Pull hanger straps tight, fold down,
and bolt to plate using provided hardware.
Once the hanger is affixed to the T.A.P., insert
slip connector down through the T.A.P. and into
DuraLiner pipe (Fig.21). Place Chimney onto
Transition Anchor Plate and affix with screws
to the brackets as shown.
Note: If using DuraPlus Chimney and
enclosing in a chase, the DuraPlus Starter
section MUST be the first section of Chimney
used at the Transition Anchor Plate.
DURALINER MAINTENANCE
- Creosote and Soot-Formation and Need
for Removal: When wood is burned slowly,
it produces tar and other organic vapors,
which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors may
condense on the inside of the chimney liner
during slow-burning firing periods. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the chimney
liner. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
- The chimney liner system should be
inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a
creosote or soot buildup (3mm or more) has
occurred. The spark arrestor screen should
be checked more frequently. If creosote or
soot has accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
1. Access – Chimney liners must be installed
to provide access for inspection and cleaning.
2. How to Clean – Recommend to have
your chimney liner cleaned by a professional
certified chimney sweep. Use a plastic, wood,
or flexible steel or wire brush- do not mar the
stainless steel liner surface. To remove the
chimney cap for cleaning, unscrew the four
screws that attach the cap’s support legs to the
cap base.
3. Coal – Clean the chimney thoroughly within
48 hours of shutting down the appliance for the
season. Check the chimney for acid corrosion
regularly.
4. No Chemical Cleaners – Do not use
chemical chimney cleaners. Their use does
not eliminate the need for mechanical cleaning
and they may be highly corrosive.
6. In case of Fire – If a flue fire occurs, close
all appliance draft openings and call your Fire
Department. Do not use the chimney again
until it is inspected for possible damage.
