MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY

REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNEC-

TOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

AND USE.

Use only 6” diameter chimney listed to UL 103

HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature

rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. USE CHIMNEY

FROM ONLY ONE MANUFACTURER. NEVER MIX

BRANDS. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer’s

stated requirements and clearances. Use the chimney

manufacturer’s attic guards, roof supports, ﬂashing and

ﬁre stops when passing through a ceiling. Use a listed

thimble when passing through a combustible wall. Do

not use makeshift compromises during installation.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A SINGLE-WALL CON-

NECTION PIPE AS A CHIMNEY!

When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’s condi-

tion and installation inspected before using. Make sure

that the chimney meets all of the UL rating requirements

listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chim-

ney is of the UL 103 HT type.

NOTE: It is recommended that you contact a li-

censed heating and cooling contractor (consult your

local yellow pages) for chimney installation.

Manufactured chimney with the proper required UL

listing is available from most home centers, hardware

stores, and HVAC supply stores.

If you have access to the internet, you may wish to

view chimney manufacturers’ information on-line.

VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE

In some instances, people desire to convert an

existing ﬁreplace for stove use. Usually, safe connec-

tion to an existing masonry chimney requires more

work than using a prefabricated chimney. The existing

ﬁreplace must be closed and sealed at the damper with

high-temperature caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace ce-

ment. Prior to installation, clean and inspect the existing

ﬂue and smoke shelf. Installation should be designed

so the system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning

and inspection. Before conversion, make sure the

existing chimney is structurally sound, the chim-

ney incorporates a ﬂue liner and make sure it is in

good condition. (A ﬂue liner consists of clay tile that

protects the brickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does

not have a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined by a

professional. DO NOT use a chimney that is unlined

or damaged!) If you have any question regarding the

condition of the chimney, consult a qualiﬁed licensed

contractor, qualiﬁed engineer, competent mason, cer-

tiﬁed Chimney Sweep, or a knowledgeable inspector.

Consult your insurance company if you cannot ﬁnd a

qualiﬁed expert.
