FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the
manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed.
You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and
install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through
and "T" section package, firestops (where needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the
manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height
above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper
draft operation. Never substitute alternative materials
for any of the manufacturer's specified components
or complete the install without using all of the required
components.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum
standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are
no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and
blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is
installed and operated. When connecting the stove through
a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods
are needed.
