2. IMPORTANT

2.1 Modifications: Any modification, change, or
substitution of any fireplace component and/or
not following the installation, operation, and
maintenance instructions will void the warranty
and can put your security at risk.

2.2 Installation instructions: Before installation
begins, carefully read the manual and contact
your local building department to determine
whether a building permit is required to install a
fireplace.

2.3 Applicable Codes: The installation must
follow the instructions in this manual and local
building codes. If there is a conflict, you must
follow the more restrictive measures.

prefabricated chimney bearing the ULC-S629 or
UL-103HT. The interior diameter varies
according to the model. See pages 9 and 10.

4. Before beginning the installation

3.1 Choosing the best location: Before
beginning the installation, make sure the spot you
have in mind for the fireplace and the chimney
meet the following requirements:

3.1.1 Chimney: Position the chimney to avoid,
as much as possible, offsets, elbows and the
cutting-out of structural elements. The weight of
the chimney must not rest on the stove. Allow
at least 2" (50 mm) for air space between the
chimney and any combustible material including
electrical cables, and plastic plumbing pipes.
Never fill this air space with insulation. For
example, if the chimney has an outside diameter
of 12" (305 mm), by adding the required 2" (50
mm) air space, a 16" (406 mm) free continuous
path is required to install the chimney. Do not
connect this fireplace to a chimney that is
connected to another heating device.

NOTES

3.1.2 Chimney minimum height: 15 feet (4600
mm) for proper operation. This length is
measured from the floor where the fireplace is
installed to the top of the chimney.

3.1.3 Minimum clearances from combustible
materials : The location of the fireplace must

meet the minimal specified clearances
requirements from any combustible material,
including furniture, drapes and other flammable
objects. Note that Type X fire-resistant gypsum
board (Firecode) is considered combustible for
fireplaces installations. (See Page 9 and 10).

4. Factory-built chimney instructions

4.1 Listed parts: Use only ULC or UL listed
parts supplied by the chimney manufacturer when
installing the chimney. The chimney must be
installation in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

4.2 Maximum allowed offsets: Don't install
more than 4 elbows in the chimney. Offsets
cannot be more than 30 degrees from the vertical
axis. The sum of all offsets (elbows) must never
exceed the number 120. For example, maximum
allowed offsets would include: two offsets of 30­degree (4 elbows x 30 degrees =120) or an offset
of 30 degrees plus another one of 15 degrees (2
elbows x 30 degrees + 2 elbows x 15 degrees =

90).

Warning: Lateral roof braces need to
be installed when the unsupported
chimney height above the roof
is more than 6 feet (2 m).

5.1 Ceiling support installation: Use and install
only parts furnished by the manufacturer of the
chimney.

5.2 Chimney lengths installation: Continue
with the installation of the chimney by
positioning lengths with the male end up. The
attic insulation must never be in contact with the
chimney. Allow at least 2" (50 mm) for air space
between the chimney and any combustible
material.

5.3 Minimum chimney height above the roof:
(Drawing 3): Extend the chimney at least 3 feet

(1 m) above the roof or 2 feet (610 mm) above
any construction element within 10 feet (3 m) of
the chimney.

5.4 Flashing water tightness: Install a metal
roof flashing with a storm collar where the
chimney pass meets the roof. Seal the joint
between the chimney and the storm collar and the
joint between the roofing and the flashing.

5.5 Roof braces: Any chimney that extends
more than 6 feet (2 m) above the roof needs to be
laterally strengthened with a pair of telescopic
roof braces.

5.6 Chimney top: Install a chimney round top at
the end of the chimney.

6. Stone pipe installation

4.3 Radiation shield/firestop: Install a radiation
shield/firestop every time the chimney passes
through a combustible floor or ceiling.

4.4 Chimney weight: The weight of the
chimney must be supported at regular intervals
according to the manufacturer's instructions. The

weight of the chimney must never be
supported by the fireplace. In addition, offset

supports must be installed above and as close as
possible to each offset (elbow) in the chimney.

REV. 2016-01

6.1 Stove pipe: Always install the pipes with the
male end up so that any condensation water can
drip and stay inside the pipe.
