Chimney
Installation
Listed Chimney and Chimney Connector
This appliance must be installed with a 6" 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 of
chimney with or without offsets.
NOTE: Longer chimney lengths and different pitch fl ashings
may be used. All other parts shown can be installed (see
Figure 11, Page 15). Install all components to the chimney
manufacturer's installation requirements. Consult your chim-
ney 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 a minimum 2" clearance between the chimney
and any combustible materials. Do not fi ll the space with
insulation or any other combustible material.
3. Install the pipe manufacturers, Fireplace anchor plate
by inserting it into the fl ue collar. Secure with stainless
steel screws. We recommend sealing the joint with stove
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' 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) OTHERWISE,
SERIOUS OVERHEATING OF THE CHASE MAY RESULT.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REMOTE GRAVITY HEAT DUCT IN-
TAKE. THIS IS REQUIRED SOLELY TO COOL THE CHASE
SURROUNDING THE FIREPLACE. DO NOT DIRECTLY
CONNECT THE CHASE INLET TO THE 6"(150M) ADAPTER
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE UNIT.SEE PAGES 20 & 21 FOR
GRAVITY HEAT DUCT INSTALLATION AND AIR SUPPLY.
The Chase inlet is to be located a minimum 1-1/2 inch above
the fl oor at suggested locations as depicted in Fig 23.
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.
If you follow this procedure, we recommend that you do not
insulate the wall above the front of the fi replace.
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)
The fi replace must not be in contact with any insulation or
loose fi lling material. Cover the insulation with drywall panels
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.
