CREOSOTE AND SOOT - Formation and need for removal
When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapours,
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited
this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
COAL
Some coals contain large quantities of Sulphur (up to 7%). When coal is
burned, Sulphur and coal ash are deposited in the chimney flue. This
deposit combines with moisture to form a highly corrosive acid (Sulphuric
Acid).
In order to protect your chimney, we recommend that you:
1. Burn only low Sulphur coals (less than 1% Sulphur).
2. Have your chimney cleaned within 48 hours of shutting down your stove
at the end of the heating season. Be certain that all the soot is
removed.
WOOD AND COAL STOVES
If you are planning to install a wood stove, we recommend that you:
1. Choose a stove that has a label of a recognized Testing Laboratory
(such as WH, UL, ULC, and CSA). The EPA approved, low emissions
stoves are highly recommended.
2. Connect only one solid fuel burning appliance to a chimney. Do not
connect an oil or gas burning appliance to a chimney venting a solid
fuel burning appliance.
3. Never over fire your stove. If any part of the stove or stove pipe is
glowing red, then you are over firing. Immediately close the stove’s
damper until the system cools. The high temperatures caused by over
firing can permanently damage the stove and stove pipe and may
overheat nearby combustible walls and furniture.
4. Install the stove and stove pipe as described in the Installation
Instructions accompanying the stove. BE CERTAIN TO MAINTAIN THE
REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION.
5. Keep your flue gases between 300°F and 500°F. This will maximize
efficiency while minimizing condensation and creosote formation.
6. Do not burn sea driftwood. Salt is highly corrosive to all types of
stainless steel. Do not burn treated lumber.
EXCEL Canada 4 Owner’s Manual
Page 5
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
KEEP YOUR CHIMNEY CLEAN Wood stoves can quickly create large
deposits of creosote in the chimney. Some wood stoves can create
enough creosote in two weeks to cause a chimney fire.
When using a wood stove, we recommend that you:
1. Initially inspect the chimney system weekly. From this you will learn
how often it will be necessary to clean your chimney.
2. THE CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED AT LEAST ONCE EVERY
TWO MONTHS DURING THE HEATING SEASON to determine if
creosote or soot has built up. When a maximum of 1/4" of creosote or
soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.
3. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep. If you want
to clean your chimney yourself, then; clean your chimney using a
properly fitting nylon or steel brush. Do not use a brush that will scratch
the stainless steel interior of the chimney. Use of an oversize brush
may damage the chimney.
4. Do not expect chemical chimney cleaners to keep your chimney clean.
Their use does not negate the necessity of periodically inspecting and
cleaning your chimney.
CHIMNEY FIRES
If you are having a chimney fire, follow these steps:
1. Close all heater doors and combustion air controls. For fireplaces, block
the fireplace opening with a non-combustible material (such as a steel
sheet).
2. Alert your family to the possible danger.
3. If you require assistance, alert your fire department.
4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to
control the fire. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam
explosion.
5. Watch for smouldering or fire on combustibles next to the stove, stove
pipe and chimney. Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers
coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.
6. Do not use the stove again until your chimney and stove pipe have
been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or Fire Department
Inspector.
EXCEL Canada 5 Owner’s Manual

INSTALLATION NOTES
1. The chimney is intended for use with cooking, heating and other
low-heat appliances.
2. A chimney venting a fireplace or an incinerator shall not vent any other
appliance.
3. The clearance between single wall stove pipe and unprotected
combustible material must not be less than 18" (reference the National
Building Code and B365).
The distance between a vertical stove pipe and the ceiling may be less
than 18" when it is installed with an EXCEL support. The reduced
clearance in this area has been confirmed as part of the chimney safety
testing.
The distance between the horizontal stove pipe and a vertical wall may
be less than 18" where the insulated chimney passes horizontally
through the wall. The distance will be determined by the Wall Radiation
Shield.
4. The maximum height of un-guyed chimney above the roof is 5 feet.
5. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces
shall be enclosed in all cases to avoid personal contact with the
chimney and damage to the chimney.
6. Do not fill the air space around the chimney with insulation or any other
material. Do not fill the factory built supports or radiation shields with
insulation. Insulation placed in this area could cause adjacent
combustibles to overheat. Do not allow sawdust or construction debris
to accumulate around the chimney. Clean all areas surrounding the
chimney before closing up any enclosed areas.
7. The chimney shall extend at least 3 ft. above its point of penetration
with the roof and at least 2 ft. higher than any wall, roof or adjacent
building within 10 ft. of it. For chase installations, the chimney must
extend at least 8" above the top of the chase.
8. The following does not apply to installation in single and two-family
dwellings:
Factory built chimneys which extend through any story above that on
which the connected appliance is located are to be provided with
enclosures having a fire resistance rating equal to or greater than that
of the floor or roof assemblies through which they pass.
EXCEL Canada 6 Owner’s Manual

FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE
When Excel is approved with a factory-built fireplace, the chimney and
fireplace are tested in combination, as a complete system. It is not possible
to include specific installation instructions for each make and model of
fireplace in these instructions, you must follow the instructions included
with the fireplace you are installing.
NOTE: When EXCEL is certified for use on a factory-built fireplace it is
tested without the use of our patented radiation shield tubes (ERSF or
ERST). These radiation shields are not required for any factory-built
fireplace installations, including interior chases.
OIL AND GAZ APPLIANCES
When Excel is used to vent an oil or gas burning appliance, the ERSF or
ERST radiation shield tubes are not required, even where the chimney is
enclosed.
CHIMNEY HEIGHT
The minimum height of chimney required is the same for all support styles
and sizes. The diagram below shows minimum chimney height as required
by code. A quick way to calculate this dimension is to multiply the vertical
rise per 12" of horizontal distance (X in the diagram) by 10 and add 24".
When the chimney is installed within 10' of the peak it must clear the peak
by 24". The minimum chimney height is 3'.
EXCEL Canada 7 Owner’s Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ROUND SUPPORT (ERDS) & SQUARE SUPPORT (ESS)
If you are installing your chimney in an energy efficient house which has
sealed vapour barriers (e.g.: R2000 construction) we manufacture a
special round support so that you can maintain your vapour barrier
integrity. (See part ERDSI.) The ERDSI comes with its own set of
installation instructions.
Typical round and square support installations are shown in drawings 1
thru 4 on page 10. The clearance between the chimney and combustible
material must not be less than 2" except for areas protected by the
support. Do not fill this area with insulation. If the support is installed in a
cathedral ceiling, follow the instructions for Cathedral Ceilings.
TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
If the support is installed in a ceiling with an attic directly above, the
support also acts as the attic radiation shield when installed with a
universal storm collar (ESC).
1. Locate the chimney in a convenient place as near as possible to the
appliance outlet. Cut and frame the holes in the floor ceiling and roof
where the chimney will pass. Refer to the technical specifications on
page 3 to determine the required rough opening for the support model
and size you are installing.
NOTE: Look Up - The round and square supports are designed to protect
the surrounding combustible materials and as a result they permit 1"
clearance from the chimney to combustible framing - in the area that they
protect. When these supports are installed in a roof truss insure that the
chimney has 2" clearance at the top of the truss. This may require you to
block out the support at the bottom. Another option is to install a support
extension (see page 13). Trim the support extension flush with the roof,
this will permit the chimney to pass within 1" of the truss.
2. From below, push the support into the framed hole. The support must
protrude at least 3" below the finished ceiling. Nail the support to the
framed joist using 8 - 3" spiral nails or # 8 X 1½" wood screws. Place
the Finish Collar around the support and fasten it to the ceiling using
the two screws provided. NOTE: If you are using a 6" square support
you may find it difficult to screw it in place because there is not much
room inside it. We have provided angle brackets with this support which
can be screwed to the outside of the support box and nailed to
surrounding framing as required. Use a minimum of four # 8 X ½" metal
screws per bracket. In some cases these brackets may need to be
trimmed (e.g.: to fit under a flashing).
EXCEL Canada 8 Owner’s Manual
Page 9
NOTE: Excel is required to be enclosed (framed in) when it passes
through an occupied area in the building. In the event that Excel passes
through an unoccupied area and is not enclosed it should be installed with
ERS radiation shields instead of ERSA radiation shields. If the chimney is
not enclosed then the ERST of ERSF radiation shields are not required.
See drawing above.
Please note that Excel may be used to vent a factory built fireplace,
an oil burning appliance, or a gas burning appliance. The ERSF or
ERST radiation shield tubes are not required when venting these
appliances, even when the chimney is enclosed.
EXCEL Canada 9 Owner’s Manual
Page 10
3. Fasten the flue extension (EX) to the first length of chimney with the
three screws provided. Place the first section of chimney into the
support with the flue extension protruding through the hole in the
support. When installing additional sections of chimney line up the
vertical seams to insure that the pre-punched screw holes line up with
the slots in the outside casing. If the chimney passes through additional
floors above the support follow instruction 4. If the chimney passes
directly into the attic without going through another floor proceed to
instruction 5.
EXCEL Canada 10 Owner’s Manual
Page 11
4a. STRAIGHT CHIMNEY, NO OFFSETS: If you are venting a
factory-built fireplace or an oil or gas burning appliance see the notes
on page 7 before proceeding. From the floor above the support place
the radiation shield tube (ERST) over the first chimney length and onto
the support. Screw it to the support using the self drilling screws
provided. Install additional chimney lengths as required making sure
that you install a radiation shield (ERSA) where the chimney penetrates
the ceiling - the ERSA should be installed from the bottom, screw or nail
the ERSA solidly to the framing. The ERST is designed to slide like a
telescope. Pull the ERST up around the chimney and screw it to the
flange on the ERSA. Multiple ERST's may be screwed together if
necessary. If the chimney is enclosed through additional floors repeat
the process starting at the top of the ERSA until the chimney is installed
into the attic.
NOTE: You may use an ERSF flexible radiation shield instead of an ERST if
you prefer. Go to instruction 5.
4b. OFFSET CHIMNEY: Place the bottom half of the flexible radiation
shield (ERSF) over the first chimney length - the ERSF connector ring
will fit inside the support. Screw through the support into the ERSF
connector ring to fasten it in place. Install additional chimney lengths
and offsets as required. Place the other half of the ERSF over the first
chimney length above the offset. Install a radiation shield (ERSA) where
the chimney penetrates the ceiling. Continue installing chimney up into
the attic. Screw the top of the ERSF to the flange which projects below
the ERSA. Pull the top half of the ERSF down over the top elbow - the
flexible duct is compressed so that it can stretch up to 66% longer. Pull
the bottom half of the ERSF up over the bottom elbow in the same
manner. Screw the two halves together at a convenient location
between the elbows. If the offset is close to the top or bottom of the
enclosure you may need to shorten one half of the ERSF and attach the
extra length to the other half. An extra coupling is included with the
ERSF for this purpose. Install an offset support on one of the vertical
lengths above the offset, the offset support may be fastened to the roof
if necessary - see page 17 for offset support instructions.
5a. IF THE CHIMNEY IS NOT ENCLOSED IN THE ATTIC: Install a storm
collar (ESC) on top of the support or radiation shield. This will prevent
loose insulation from falling into the area between the chimney and the
support. Install a regular roof flashing. Go to instruction 6.
5b. IF THE CHIMNEY IS ENCLOSED IN THE ATTIC: Continue installing
chimney sections up through the roof opening. Lower a radiation shield
tube (ERST) through the roof opening and adjust it so that it sits on the
support or radiation shield below. Adjust the length of the ERST so that
it terminates just above the roof opening but under the flashing. Screw
the four sections of the ERST to each other. Install a regular roof
flashing.
EXCEL Canada 11 Owner’s Manual
Page 12
6. Install the roof flashing: Seal the joint between the roof and the
flashing with roofing tar or silicone. For sloping roofs, Place the flashing
under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles approximately half of the flashing should be under the shingles. Seal
the joint between the roof and the flashing with roofing tar or silicone.
Nail the flashing to the roof using roofing nails. Place the storm collar
over the chimney and the flashing. Tighten it in place. Caulk the joint
between the chimney and storm collar with silicone.
7. Continue adding chimney sections until the required chimney height is
reached. See the drawing on page 7 to determine the correct height.
8. If the chimney height above the roof exceeds 5 feet then a roof brace
must be installed.
9. Fit the rain cap to the top of the chimney. Screw the four metal screws
provided through the straps and into the top chimney length.
CATHEDRAL CEILINGS
If your home has a cathedral ceiling (no attic space between the ceiling
and the roof), install the chimney and support as follows.
1. Situate the chimney in a convenient location as near as possible to the
appliance outlet. Cut and frame a hole in the roof for the support. The
sides of this hole must be vertical. See page 3 for hole size.
2. Place the support in the opening. Lower it to the correct height as
determined by the table and diagram on page 13.
Using a level, make sure the support is vertical. If the support extends
above the roof, cut it flush with the top of the roof. Nail the support to
the frame opening using 8 - 3" spiral nails or # 8 x 1½" wood screws.
Note: If you are using a 6" square support you may find it difficult to
screw it in place because it is fairly small inside.
We have provided angle brackets with this support which can be
screwed to the outside of the support box and nailed to surrounding
framing as required. Use a minimum of four # 8 x ½" metal screws per
bracket. In some cases these brackets may need to be trimmed (e.g.: to
fit under a flashing).

3. Attach the flue extension (found in the support box) to the bottom of the
first chimney length using the 3 metal screws provided. Put this
chimney length in the support. Push it down firmly in place.
4. Use a regular roof flashing. Put the roof flashing in place. Place the
flashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles approximately half of the flashing should be under the shingles. Seal
the joint between the roof and the flashing with roofing tar or silicone.
Nail the flashing to the roof using roofing nails. Place the storm collar
over the chimney and flashing. Caulk the joint between the chimney
and collar with silicone caulking.
5. Put the remaining required lengths of chimney in place. Fasten the
lengths together using three metal screws at each joint (provided with
the chimney). If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof,
install a roof brace.
6. Fit the rain cap to the top of the chimney. Screw the four metal screws
provided through the straps and into the top chimney length.
SUPPORT EXTENSIONS - ROUND (ERDSE) OR SQUARE (ESSE)
Steep pitched cathedral ceilings, or attics with greater than average
insulation depth, may require the use of a support extension. This piece fits
down inside the support and can be adjusted to increase the support's
length by up to 22". The extension is attached to the support using the
eight metal screws provided. Be sure there is at least a 2 inch overlap
where the extension joins the support.

UNIVERSAL BAND AND ROOF SUPPORT BAND ASSEMBLY
The universal band is a sub-component of the following parts:
- Wall Support (EWS)
- Roof Brace (ERB)
- Offset Support (EOS)
The Roof Support Band is a sub-component of the roof support and is
assembled in the same manner as the universal band.
1. The universal band and the roof support band are shipped
pre-assembled to fit 6" chimney. To install the bands on a 7" or 8"
chimney carefully remove the three 1/4" x 1" elevator bolts (five bolts for
a roof support) and replace them in the corresponding labelled holes for
7" or 8".
For 5" Ø chimney the band that come with the supports (wall, roof or
offset) and with the roof brace is made to fit the outside diameter of the
5" chimney only.
2. Bend the band around the chimney section and secure with the 1/4" x
2" bolt, lock washer and nut provided. The band will bend to conform to
the diameter of the chimney.
EXCEL Canada 14 Owner’s Manual
Page 15
ROOF SUPPORT (ESR)
The roof support may be used to support the chimney on a flat or inclined
roof.
When using a roof support the chimney must extend in to the room a
minimum of 6 inches below a finished ceiling. You must also maintain the
required horizontal clearance between the single or double wall connector
and the combustible ceiling - see diagram below.
See the table on page 3 to determine the minimum opening required in the
roof. The chimney must have 2" of clearance all around - regardless of roof
pitch.
1. Assemble the roof support band following the instructions on page 14.
2. Bolt on the two 90° roof support brackets. These brackets require two
elevator bolts per bracket - see the drawing above. Leave these bolts
loose.
EXCEL Canada 15 Owner’s Manual
Page 16
3. Slip the support down over the chimney - locate the support on the
chimney so that the required amount of chimney projects below the
finished ceiling - tighten the locking nut. Place the chimney in the
opening in the roof. Rotate the 90° brackets to adjust for the roof pitch.
Tighten the collar around the chimney, then secure it by screwing three
metal screws through the holes in the collar and into the chimney.
Tighten the four nuts which hold the brackets to the support band.
4. Center the chimney in the hole in the roof and nail or screw the support
to the roof using 6 - 2 1/2" nails or # 8 x 1 1/2" wood screws.
OFFSET SUPPORT (EOS)
This support is used for re-supporting a chimney above an offset.
Install the chimney and elbows according to the installation instructions.
Install the support as follows:
See the table on page 3 to determine the minimum opening required for
the support. The chimney must have 2" of clearance all around.
1. Assemble the band following the instructions on page 14.
2. Bolt on the offset support straps - see diagram above.
3. Slip the support down over the chimney to a convenient location.
4. Tighten the collar around the chimney, then secure it by screwing three
metal screws through the holes in the collar and into the chimney.
5. Attach the support straps to the floor or roof structure using two 3" nails
or #10 x 2" wood screws per strap.
6. Continue installing the chimney.
EXCEL Canada 16 Owner’s Manual
Page 17
OFFSET CHIMNEY
3. Use another elbow to turn the
chimney vertically. Again secure
the elbow to the chimney length
using three metal screws.
4. Install the remaining chimney as
described in the support
instructions.
5. An Offset or Roof Support must
be installed above each offset
(two elbows) to support the
chimney above the offset. This
support may be installed on any
convenient location on the
vertical run above the offset.
If it is necessary to offset the chimney in order for it to pass through an
upstairs cupboard or to clear a joist, do this by using 15°, 30° or 45°
insulated elbows.
The maximum number of elbows permitted is four (typically this would
consist of two sets of an offset and a return).
To determine the parts required for your installation refer to the drawing on
page 20 and the offset tables on page 18 and 19.
You may find it convenient to install an adjustable length between the
elbows. This will allow you to offset the exact distance you require. The
offset table on page 18 should be used when no adjustable length is
required. Use the table on page 19 when an adjustable length is required.
The maximum length of unsupported offset chimney is 8'. If the offset
chimney is longer than 8', then it must be supported at 6' intervals using an
offset support (EOS).
When you reach the height at which the elbow will be installed,
proceed as follows:
1. Install the insulated elbow on the chimney length. Turn it in the required
direction and fasten it to the chimney with the 3 metal screws provided.
Since the offset direction varies from installation to installation the
pre-punched holes will not line up.
2. Place the required length of chimney on the elbow. Fasten it to the
elbow with the three metal screws provided.

The best place to install the adjustable length is immediately below the top elbow.
The adjustable length can then be adjusted to give you the offset you require.
NOTE: An adjustable length can not be used immediately above an elbow, there must be a
straight length below it.

WALL SUPPORT (EWS)
1. Assemble the band following the instructions on page 14.
2. Fasten the wall support components to the band - see diagram above.
The components are attached to the two elevator bolts projecting from
the sides of the band.
WALL RADIATION SHIELD (EWRS)
If you are installing your chimney in an energy efficient house which has
sealed vapour barriers (e.g.: R2000 construction) we manufacture a
special wall radiation shield so that you can maintain your vapour barrier
integrity. (See part EWRSI.)
If possible install an interior chimney as it will provide better performance
than an exterior chimney. In area with continuous temperatures below
-18°C (0° F) the use of an exterior chimney may result in operating
problems such as poor draft, excessive condensation of combustion
products and rapid accumulation of creosote when connected to a wood
burning appliance. If you do install an exterior chimney, we recommend
that you enclose it using an insulated enclosure.
NOTES:
1. The chimney may be enclosed or un-enclosed. Always maintain 2"
clearance to combustible materials. Do not fill the space around the
chimney with insulation or any other material.
2. A wall support must be used to secure the chimney to the wall.
Maximum distance between wall supports is 8 feet if the chimney is not
enclosed.
3. The chimney must extend in to the room at least 4 inches.
EXCEL Canada 20 Owner’s Manual
Page 21
4. The distance between a single wall stovepipe and a parallel
combustible wall or ceiling must not be less than 18". The distance
between the horizontal stove pipe and the un-shielded vertical wall
through which the insulated chimney passes is determined by the Wall
Radiation Shield.
5. If an exterior installation is to be enclosed, allow for access to the base
of the Tee to facilitate cleaning.
6. The minimum distance between the bottom of the chimney and any
horizontal combustible is 12".
THROUGH WALL INSTALLATION
Unenclosed Exterior Installation Enclosed Exterior Installation
1. Determine where the chimney will pass through the wall.
For concrete walls cut a hole slightly larger than the chimney. If the
concrete wall has a wood wall inside it follow the instructions for a
combustible wall.
For combustible walls cut and frame a hole corresponding to the
rough opening required in the table on page 3.
2. Combustible wall:
From outside, put the exterior portion (the galvanized part with the
square plate) of the wall radiation shield in the hole. Nail the shield in
place using 4 - 2" nails or # 8 x 1 1/2" wood screws. Seal the joint
between the shield and the wall with silicone caulking.
EXCEL Canada 21 Owner’s Manual
Page 22
3. Assemble the Wall Support - follow instructions on page 20.
4. Fasten the required chimney length to the Tee side entrance. The
horizontal chimney section must extend through the finished interior
wall by at least 4 inches. In some cases you may wish to use an
adjustable length in combination with a short length for this purpose.
Attach the flue extension (EX) found in the EWRS box, to the end of
the horizontal chimney length using the 3 metal screws provided.
5. Fasten a chimney length to the top of the Tee.
6. The wall support should be installed on the first vertical chimney
section above the Tee. Tighten the universal band locking bolt just
enough to hold the wall support in place.
7. Install this assembly through the hole in the radiation shield.
8. Fasten the Wall Support brackets to the outside wall in a convenient
location directly above the hole. Use four #10 x 3" or larger screws.
Insure that the screws are fastened into a structural member and not
only to the wall sheeting. If the stud locations do not line up properly
you may wish to use a wall channel - see instructions page 24. The
Wall Support brackets are slotted to allow them to adjust in and out.
Adjust the brackets so that the chimney is a minimum of 2" from the
wall and parallel with it. Tighten the Wall Support collar around the
chimney, then secure it using 3 metal screws.
9. Stack the next chimney length in place. Align the vertical seams, this
will also align the screw holes. Fasten the lengths together using 3
metal screws. Continue installing lengths until you reach the roof or
until the required overall height is achieved. Many installers prefer to
screw two or three vertical lengths together in advance because it is
easier to screw the chimney sections together in the open than when
they are close to a wall.
10. If the chimney is installed in a combustible chase then a roof radiation
shield (ERRS) must be installed immediately below the flashing or
chase top and a ventilated flashing (EVF) must be installed. See
drawing on page 22.
11. If the chimney passes through the roof, cut a hole large enough to
provide 2" clearance between the chimney and the roof. Install a
radiation shield (ERS) from the bottom to seal the opening. Continue
installing lengths as required.
12. Install another Wall Support at 8' intervals. The Wall Support should
be adjusted to ensure the chimney is vertical and at 2" (or more)
clearance to combustibles.
EXCEL Canada 22 Owner’s Manual
Page 23
13. Put the roof flashing in place. Seal the joint between the roof and the
flashing with roofing pitch. For sloping roofs, place the flashing under
the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the flashing
to the roof using roofing nails. Place the storm collar over the chimney
just above the flashing. Caulk the joint between the chimney and
storm collar with silicone caulking.
14. Continue adding chimney sections until the required chimney height is
reached. See the drawing on page 7 to determine the correct height.
15. If the chimney extends more than 5' above the roof it should be
secured to the roof using a Roof Brace (ERB).
16. Fit the rain cap to the top of the chimney. Screw the four metal screws
provided through the straps and into the top chimney length. Install
the spark screen if you wish to have a spark screen.
17. FROM INSIDE. Slide the black portion of the Wall Radiation Shield
over the galvanized portion which was installed from the outside and
push it until it stops against the chimney. The black interior portion of
the Wall Radiation Shield must project into the room a minimum of 4".
Install the round finish trim with the long black screws provided.
WALL CHANNEL
The use of a wall channel will simplify the installation of a wall band or wall
support. The wall channel is 26 inches long to allow for 24 inch on centre
framing.
1. Locate the framing members you will screw the wall channel to. Do not
screw the wall channel in place yet.
2. Determine the correct location on the wall channel for the wall band or
wall support. The two short sides of the wall channel rest against the
wall. Bolt the support brackets to the wall channel with elevator bolts.
3. Screw the wall channel in place using a minimum of four #10 x 3 inch
screws.

ROOF BRACE (ERB)
The roof brace is required to
provide extra stability for
chimneys which extend more
than 5 feet above a roof.
1. Assemble the band following
the instructions on page 14.
2. Place the band at a point at
least two thirds of the way
up the chimney. Fasten the
larger diameter section of
the braces to the collar
using the nuts provided.
Adjust the length of the
braces by telescoping one
tube inside the other until
the desired length is
reached. The angle of the
braces should not be more
than 45 degrees from
horizontal when fastened to
the roof.
3. Fasten the other end of each brace to the roof using a #10 x 4" or larger
screw and a washer. Insure that the screws are fastened into a
structural member of the roof and not only into the roof sheeting. The
two braces should be installed approximately 90° apart.
4. Tighten the bolt which locks the two tubes together very firmly. We
recommend that you screw the inside and outside tubes together using
# 8 x 1/2" screws to permanently lock them in place.
5. Tighten the locking bolt on the universal band then secure the collar by
screwing the metal screws provided through the holes in the collar and
into the chimney.

ADJUSTABLE LENGTH (ELA18)
An adjustable chimney length is available for
chimney installations that require exact
lengths. An adjustable length can not be
installed immediately above a support,
elbow or tee. It can only be installed above a
straight length. When using the adjustable
length the flue (inside) does not adjust, only
the outside casing.
1. Determine the required length.
Once a fireplace is installed, bolt
the anchor plate to the fireplace.
Install the chimney according to
the Installation Instructions for the
Ceiling Support. Omit step 2 since
the anchor plate acts as the
chimney’s support.
2. Remove the three screws from the outside casing of the adjustable
length. Slide the two sections of the outer casing together until the
required overall length is achieved.
3. Using the stainless steel screws provided fasten the two sections of
outer casing together through the three pre-punched holes. The screws
are self drilling and will make their own holes. Cut off the exposed
insulation. The remaining insulation will compress enough to allow the
next chimney section to connect. Do not cut the inner flue, it will slide
inside the next chimney length.
4. To install the adjustable length slide the flue into the length below until
the outside casing seats firmly in place. You may need to press firmly
to compress the additional insulation. Fasten the lengths together using
the 3 metal screws provided.
ANCHOR PLATE (EAP)
This support is used on a masonry fireplace to provide a positive
connection to the chimney. It is not to be used in contact with any
combustible material, such as a wood floor.

RADIATION SHIELD (ERS & ERSA)
The radiation shield must be
used when the chimney
passes through a floor, or
when it is installed in a attic.
See illustrations page 9. The
radiation shield is designed to
adjust for a variety of attic
heights. Always adjust the
radiation shield to be as high
as the attic will allow, even if
the additional height is not
required to provide shielding
from insulation. This will
reduce the chance that loose
fill insulation will come in
contact with the chimney
if additional insulation is added
in the future. To adjust the radiation shield simply slide the top tube up as
high as possible then screw the two sections together with the self drilling
screws provided. When the radiation shield is installed in the attic, a
universal storm collar (ESC) must be used. This will prevent the infiltration
of insulation between chimney and radiation shield.
RAIN CAP BASE (ERCB)
The rain cap base is used to seal off the end of the chimney where it is
installed without a rain cap. In some Northern areas the use of a rain cap is
either not permitted or discouraged. Excel chimneys do not have end caps
so the ends of the chimney are open to the weather unless they are
protected by a rain cap or rain cap base. Under no circumstances can
the end of an Excel chimney be left unprotected. If it is necessary for the
rain cap to be removed, a rain cap base must be installed.

UNIVERSAL STORM COLLAR (ESC)
The universal storm collar has been
designed as a compatible fit for all
EXCEL chimneys. The universal
storm collar must be used on
regular (non-vented) flashing and
on the radiation shield when
installed in an attic. The universal
storm collar, when installed on
small diameter chimney (5” and 6”),
can be cut for ease of installation.
The cut line is shown in the
illustration of the piece.
To install the universal storm
collar:
1. Place the storm collar around the chimney.
2. Slide the tongue into the appropriate slot for the required diameter.
3. Ensure the tongue is placed into the slot correctly.
4. Use the round notch to tighten the collar around the chimney.
(When the collar is installed in an attic ensure that it's sits properly on the
radiation shield)
5. Bend the tongue back over the slot.
6. Bend the two tabs to secure the inner portion of the collar.
7. Hold the tongue in place by inserting a screw into the hole at the tip.
8. Seal the crack between chimney and collar with silicone.
9. Seal the unused slots of the universal storm collar with silicone.

SNOW-BARRIER (ESW)
3. Position the snow wedge on the roof with
the hinge aligned with the center of the
chimney. Adjust the wedge so that the
top (hinge) is horizontal. Leave a
minimum distance of 2" between the
chimney and the top of the wedge.
4. Screw the wedge to the roof using #10 X
3" or heavier screws; be sure to install all
eight screws. Before tightening the
screws apply some silicone under each
tab to seal the screw hole in the roof.
Make sure all screws penetrate the
backing as well as the roof sheeting.

1. The snow wedge must be solidly fastened to the roof in order to resist
the force of a heavy snow load. Simply screwing it to typical roof
sheeting is not normally sufficient. We recommend that you install 3/4"
plywood or 2 X 6 backing large enough to accept all eight screws.
2. The tabs on the snow wedge are factory adjusted for a 4/12 roof.
These tabs must be bent in the field to adjust for the actual roof pitch
see attached table. The snow wedge is designed to be adjustable for
all pitches up to a maximum of 12/12.

ROUND SUPPORT (ERDS)
To install the round support using the support collar follow the Excel
installation instructions for the round support replacing step #2 with the
following:
1. Slide the support collar over the support from the bottom making sure
the four tabs are pointing downwards - see drawing below. Before
screwing the collar in place you must measure to compensate for the
thickness of the framing materials and also insure that the bottom of
the support extends a minimum of 3" below the finished ceiling. Fasten
the collar to the support with the self tapping metal screws provided.
2. The tabs have been designed so that the support can be pushed up
through the square framed opening from the bottom and then rotated
1/4 turn so that the tabs sit on top of the framing - the round trim collar
is large enough to cover the square hole. Once all four tabs are sitting
on the framing it must be nailed or screwed in place. This can be
accomplished either from the top through the holes in the tabs, or
through all four sides of the support using a minimum #8 x 1 1/2"
screws.
To complete the installation follow the remaining steps in the Excel
installation instructions.

EXTENDED WALL SUPPORT (EWSE)
the wall sheeting. If the stud locations do not
line up properly you may wish to use a wall
channel (see instructions page 24). The wall
support brackets are slotted to allow them to
adjust in and out. Adjust the brackets so that
the chimney is a minimum of 2” from
combustible material and parallel with the wall.
Tighten the Wall Support collar around the
chimney, then secure it using 3 metal screws.

shown on page 14 & 15 of the Excel installation instructions.
2. Attach the horizontal braces to the universal support collar as show in
the diagram below. Place the support collar at the desired distance
from the wall using the slots on the horizontal braces. The braces are
attached to the two elevator bolts that protrude from the sides of the
support collar.
Continue the installation in accordance with the instruction manual
on page 22, wall support, and replace instructions 6 and 8 on page 23
with the following:
6. The horizontal braces and support flange should be installed on the first
vertical chimney section above the Tee. Tighten the universal band
locking bolt just enough to hold the wall support in place.
8. Install the support horizontal braces on the external wall by using four
#10 x 3" or longer screws. Attach the diagonal braces and the wall
brackets to the horizontal braces. Install the brackets on the external
wall using #10 x 3" or longer screws. As mentioned previously, ensure
that the screws are anchored in the structural member and not only to
(continue the installation in accordance with the instruction manual at the
page 22 & 23)
