Chimney
Installation
Listed Chimney
This appliance must be installed with a 6"(150mm) chimney
system approved under the following standards: CAN-ULC S629(IN
CANADA) AND UL 103HT(IN U.S.).
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF
ALL CHIMNEY COMPONENTS.
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS SPECI-
FIED IN THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
USE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS, CAPS, FLASHING AND
SHIELDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHIMNEY MANU-
FACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL
GUIDELINES ONLY.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE FLOOR,
WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
NOTE: The FP30 can be installed with a minimum 15ft(4.5m)
of chimney with or without offsets.
NOTE: Install all components to the chimney manufacturer's
installation requirements. Consult your chimney supplier for
installation advice.
1. After locating the desired location and framing in the
fi replace, cut and frame square holes in all fl oors, ceil-
ings, and roof that the chimney will pass through as per
chimney manufacturer's instructions. Use a plumb bob to
line up the holes. The chimney support is mounted to the
framing.
2. Maintain minimum clearances, as per chimney manu-
facturer's instructions, between the chimney and any
combustible materials. Do not fi ll the space with insulation
or any other combustible material.
3. Install the pipe manufacturer's, Fireplace anchor plate by
inserting it into the fl ue collar. Secure with stainless steel
screws. We recommend sealing the joint with fi replace
cement. (If using ICC chimney pipe and anchor plate,
you will need to install an Anchor Plate spacer. Part
#FP30.7757)
NOTE: FOR ALL CHIMNEYS, YOU MUST USE THE MANU-
FACTURER'S FIREPLACE ANCHOR PLATE..
4. Assemble chimney sections so the fi nished length is rest-
ing on the manufacturer's adapter and protruding through
the roof. Avoid having joints between ceiling and roof. It
is required to secure connections with three (3) ½" (12
mm) metal screws.
5. Install radiation shields, fi restops and all pieces necessary
to prevent contact with combustible materials whenever
passing through fl oors ceilings or attic spaces.
6. Install the roof support then assemble fl ashing and storm
collar and be sure to maintain the vapour barrier at this
point. (Seal securely.)
7. Attach rain cap and check fl ashing for leaks.
8. If the chimney extends more than 5'(1.5m) above the point
of contact with the roof, then it must be secured using roof
braces.
Chase
Enclosure
NOTE: THE CHASE ENCLOSURE MUST HAVE A 30in2
I(194 cm2) AIR INLET. (IN U.S.A. AND CANADA) FOR EV-
ERY REMOTE HEAT KIT INSTALLED WITH THE UNIT. NO
CHASE AIR INLET IS REQUIRED IF NOT INSTALLING A
REMOTE HEAT KIT.
The Chase inlet is to be located a minimum 1-1/2 inch above
the fl oor at suggested locations as depicted in Fig 20.
If the chimney runs up the outside of the residence, we recom-
mend it be enclosed in a chase structure. The chase should
be constructed in such a way that it is an extension of the
home. It should be well insulated between the footings and
the fl oor of the home to prevent heat loss. We also recom-
mend to insulate the ceiling of the chase just as if it were in
the attic space. This will prevent cold air from dropping down
through the chase and into the room where the fi replace is
installed. Some local codes require that the walls be insulated,
vapor sealed and sheathed with a fi re rated gypsum board.
We strongly recommend this procedure for all installations to
prevent cold drafts from originating in the fi replace enclosure.
NOTE: Check local codes concerning installation requirements
and restrictions in your area.
NOTE: Combustible materials cannot be used in the space
directly above the fi replace. Do not fi ll the space above the
fi replace with any material. (except the wood framing)
NOTE: Do not install or fabricate any storage areas, cup-
boards, etc. into the chase enclosure.
The fi replace must not be in contact with any insulation or
loose fi lling material. Cover the insulation with drywall panels
around the fi replace.
It is not required to install a chase outlet but doing so can
provide extra heat into the room as well as ensure better
cooling of the chase.
NOTE: Chase inlet and optional outlet are intended to be in
the same room as the fi replace.

In the USA: the unit must be installed in accoradance with
the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development(HUD)"Manufactured Home Construction
