Measure vertical distances from the base of the fi replace.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51 mm)
air space clearance to insulation and other combustible
materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so may
cause overheating and fi re.

Table 8.1

Determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation:

• Measure the total vertical height of the fi replace installation

from the base of the fi replace assembly to the approximate
location of the bottom of the termination cap.

• Subtract the effective height of the fi replace assembly (see

Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine the
overall height of the chimney installation.

• Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure

8.2 showing components required (referring to Table 8.1).
Figure 8.1 identifi es those components and where used.

• Install a ceiling fi restop whenever the chimney penetrates

a fl oor/ceiling.

NOTICE:

A maximum of one offset and return may be

used.

CAUTION! Risk of Fire and/or Asphyxiation! DO NOT
connect this fi replace to a chimney fl ue servicing another
appliance. Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct
or system. These actions could cause overheating/fi re
in the chimney fl ue, or release of exhaust fumes into the
living areas.
