1.
Insert a 9" x 24" section of pipe into the smaller end of the 9" to 10" adapter.
Screw the pipe and the adapter together with
2. The 9" x 24" intermediate pipe section is then slid over the slip connector pipe. Slide the 24 inch
pipe over the slip pipe only far enough as necessary to facilitate installation of the 9" x 24" damper
pipe in to the unit.
3. Slide the 9" x 24" pipe down onto the damper pipe installed on the Zircon.
4. There must be a minimum of 2 inches of overlap between the 9" x 24" and 9" to 10" x 24" slip
connector pipe.
Other Chimney Systems
There are many other manufacturer's of chimney systems. It is beyond the scope of this publication to
cover installation with all of the different systems available. Most systems have a method of connection to
the Zircon's connector pipe. Confirm installation procedures with your dealer or the manufacturer of the
chimney system you have purchased.
Masonry Chimney
If using a masonry chimney, it must meet the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) Standard 211. The chimney must have at least a 5/8" fire clay liner or a listed chimney
liner system. The chimney must be inspected for cracks, loose mortar, or any other signs of deterioration.
It is best to have the chimney inspected by a professional. Make certain the chimney is cleaned prior
to installation of this fireplace. The size of the chimney should be between 36 and 96 square inches.
Larger chimneys should be relined to meet these requirements. Incorrect sizing of the chimney may
affect the draft and result in poor fireplace performance. Do not install more than one appliance to any
chimney. There are different accepted methods of connecting the fireplace to a masonry chimney through
a combustible wall. This type of installation requires the use of a thimble to protect the surrounding
combustible materials. Check with your local building officials or consult NFPA211. See Figure 4, Page 6.
