4.2 TYPICAL CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
* The rst ue offset closest to the top of the appliance must be a minimum distance of 12” (304.8mm)
from the top of the appliance.
1. Move the appliance into position. Try to center the exhaust flue of the appliance,
midpoint between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to
line up the centre.
2. Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a min-
imum clearance of 2” (51mm) between the outside of
the chimney and any combustible material. DO NOT
FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL!
Nail headers between the joists for extra support. Fire-
stop spacers must be placed on each framed open-
ing in any floor or ceiling that the chimney passes
through.
3. Hold a plumb bob from the underside of the roof
to determine where the opening in the roof should
be. Cut and frame the roof opening maintaining
proper 2” (50.8mm) clearances.
NOTE: 30° or 45° offsets may be installed back to
back.
