IMPORTANT
The installation shall meet the requirements of CAN/CSA B-365 - Installation
code for solid-fuel-burning appliances and equipment.
Don-Bar fireplaces are not designed to be connected to air-ventilated
factory-built chimneys (chimneys without insulation).
The ceiling support (standard or cathedral) is universal and used with all the
fireplaces mentioned in this manual. The installation can be done in two
practical steps:
1) The chimney and its ceiling support can be installed during the
the construction phase; the fireplace is not required for this step.
2) Then, you can wait until the work is complete to select the fireplace
model and proceed to final installation. This protects the fireplace
from being damaged and there is no hassle of protecting the fireplace
during construction.
If you are not sure
maximum clearances from combustible materials (Pages 6 and 17 to 21)
For simplicity, the Model 9000 is the only type illustrated in the drawings.
Installation of other models is similar.
A gas burner (propane or natural gas) with ceramic logs can also be installed.
The burner and its accessories must be certified by the concerned authorities
and meet the local codes and regulations where the fireplace will be installed.
CAUTION: The painted finish of the cathedral and regular ceiling
supports must remain visible to the eye. Because of dangers of fire,
these elements should not be covered with finishing materials other
than those supplied and approved by Don-Bar.

PART 1: INSTALLATION
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE
WARNING: 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.
1.1 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.
1.2 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.
1.3 For your security, enlist the services of a
professional fireplace fitter for the installation.
1.4 Before lighting your first fire, read the
instructions in Part 2 regarding Security,
Operation and Maintenance.

1.5 Your fireplace produces heat and provides
great ambiance but it should not be used as the
main source of heating.
2. Listed chimneys
2.1 Listed factory-built chimneys: Your Don-
Bar fireplace is designed to be installed with any
prefabricated chimney bearing the ULC-S610 or
UL-103HT label. The chimney inside diameter
shall be 10" (250 mm). If the height of the
insulated chimney above the ceiling support
exceeds 18' (5500 mm), a chimney of 8" I.D. (200
mm) is acceptable.

3. 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:
ceiling support requires 20-1/4” x 20-1/4” (515
mm) - see next page. Do not connect this
fireplace to a chimney that is connected to
another heating device.
3.3 Chimney minimum height: 15 feet (4600
mm). This length is measured from the floor
where the fireplace is installed to the top of the
chimney.

3.4 Outside air intake: Outside air needs to
circulate into the fireplace. The outside air intake
duct needs to pass under the floor that supports
the fireplace. Plan an appropriate path for this 6"
to 8" (150 to 200 mm) outside diameter duct,
including its insulated jacket.

3.2 Chimney: Position the chimney to avoid, as
much as possible, offsets, elbows and the cuttingout of structural elements. 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. Note: The
standard ceiling support requires a free vertical
space of 17” x 17” (430 mm) and the cathedral

VERY IMPORTANT : A continuous vertical shaft of 17" x 17" (430 mm x 430
mm) minimum must be planned for the installation of the chimney and its
ceiling support. This technical shaft must be free of joists, beams, trusses,
pipes, electrical wires, etc. before the installation of the chimney. See
article 7.4 for the maximum permitted offsets.

3.5 Minimum clearances from combustible
materials: Make sure the wood basket (see
drawings 2 and 3) is at least 12" (305 mm) 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 and as such requires the minimum
12" (305 mm) clearance.
3.6 Exterior doors and windows: As much as
possible, avoid installing the fireplace too close to
an outside door or window because air turbulence
and drafts disrupt the chimney draft.

4. Installation
4.1 Choosing the ceiling support: If you have a
horizontal ceiling, use the regular Don-Bar
ceiling support. For a sloped ceiling, use the
Don-Bar cathedral ceiling support.
5. Regular ceiling support
installation
5.1 Wood frame: Build a ceiling wood frame of
17" x 17" I.D. (432 mm x 432 mm) to anchor the
ceiling support. The ceiling support long bolts
are spaced at 18" c/c (457 mm). Level the frame
so that the suspended hood will be plumb. Note
that these wood frame dimensions are required
to fix the ceiling support. Elsewhere, the
chimney may require smaller clearances. See
the requirements of the chimney's
manufacturer for more details.

5.2 Ceiling support fastening: Secure the

frame with 4 long bolts at least 3" (75 mm) long
by 3/8" (10 mm) diameter.
5.3 Chimney: Start the chimney installation by
slipping the first chimney section into the ceiling
support. Be sure the chimney fits well into the
ceiling support before proceeding with other
chimney sections.
