• Thechaseisconstructedusingframingmaterialsmuch
thesameasthewallsinyourhome.Avarietyofsiding
materials may be used including brick, stone, veneer
brick,orstandardsidingmaterials.
• In constructing the chase, several factors must be
considered:
- Maintain a 2 in. (51 mm) air space around the
chimney.
- The chase top must be constructed of non-
combustiblematerial.
- Incoldclimates,arestopspacerandatticinsulation
shieldshouldbeinstalledinaninsulatedfalseceiling
at the 8 ft. (2438 mm) level above the replace
assembly.Thisreducesheatlossthroughthechase.
- In cold climates, the walls of the chase should be
insulatedtothelevelofthefalseceilingasshownin
Figure3.3.Thiswillhelpreduceheatlossfromthe
homearoundthereplace.
ThreeexamplesofchaseapplicationsareshowninFig-
ure3.4.
WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceil-
ing restops at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft
(3.05 m) to control spread of re.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT sealareabetweenre
stop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter
the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use
600° F sealant).
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain a minimum
2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and oth-
er materials surrounding the chimney system.
• Insulationandothermaterialsmustbermlysecuredto
prevent accidental contact with chimney system.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
makingcontactwithreplaceorchimney.
• Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other
materials and chimney system may cause overheating
andre.

A MAJOR CAUSE OF VENT RELATED FIRES IS FAIL-
URE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR
SPACES) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF
THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT DURACHIMNEY II
BE INSTALLED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
B. Clearances
Alwaysallowatleasta2-inchclearancebetweenDura-
ChimneyIIPipeandanycombustiblematerials.
• Neverllanyrequiredclearancespacewithinsulation
or any other materials.
• Combustible materials include lumber, plywood,
sheetrock,plasterandlath,furniture,curtains,electrical
wiring,andbuildinginsulation.
C. Installation Notes
Proper planning for your DuraChimney II installation will
resultingreatersafety,e󰀩ciency,andconvenience,as
wellassavingtimeandmoney.Youmust use only autho-
rized DuraChimney II parts to maintain a listed chimney
system. Do notmixpartsortrytomatchwithotherprod-
uctsoruseimprovisedsolutions.
• Do notinstalldamagedormodiedparts.
• Practice good workmanship. Sloppy work could
jeopardizeyourchimney’ssafety.
• Keep electrical wiring and building insulation away
from all chimneys.
• When deciding the location of your chimney, try to
avoidmodicationstoroofbeamsandotherstructural
componentsofthebuilding.
Ifyouhaveanyquestions,contacteitheryourdealeror
Simpson Dura-Vent directly.
D. Frame Openings
• Fromtheceiling,dropaplumbbobtothecenterofthe
replace’sueoutletandmarkthiscenterpointonthe

K. Install Attic Insulation Shield
Theatticinsulationshieldmustbeinstalledwherethe
chimneypassesintoanattic.Itspurposeistopreventde-
brisandinsulationfromgettingtooclosetothechimney.
Inatticareaswherethisshieldcannott,orisnotused
you must enclose the attic portion of the chimney in a
framed enclosure. If the chimney is fully enclosed through
theattic,anatticinsulationshieldisnotrequired.Install
theatticinsulationshieldasfollows:
• Removeanyinsulationfromatticooraroundtheframed
opening.
• Assemblechimneysectionsuntilatleast18inchesof
chimneyextendsabovetherestop.
• Sliptheatticinsulationshieldoverthechimneyuntilthe
basesitssquarelyontheframedopening(Figure4.10).
• Secure the attic insulation shield to the top of the framed
opening using at least two 8-penny nails or two #8,
1-1/2in.woodscrewsperside(Figure4.11).
• Wrap the collar of the attic insulation shield around the
chimney and fasten it loosely. Slide the collar down
tomeettheatticinsulationshield.Tightentheboltsto
securethecollarinplace(Figure4.11).
• Combustiblematerialmaycomeintocontactwiththeattic
insulationshieldaslongastherequiredclearancesare
maintained to the chimney pipe.

Roofradiationshieldsmustbeusedtoprovideprotection
forrooforchaseframingmembers.
Note: Roof radiation shields do not allow for a reduced
clearancetocombustibles.
Clearancetocombustiblesmustbeaminimumof2”
away from the chimney pipe.
• Install roof radiation shields at either the top of the chase
orwherethechimneypenetratestheroof,whicheveris
the top of the installation.
• Roofradiationshieldsarebuiltwitha1/2”airgapstando󰀨
fromthejoistface(Figure4.12).Thecornersoftheroof
radiationshieldsoverlap eachothertoensureproper
position.
• Secure the roof radiation shields to the top of the framing
membersusingscrewsornailsinthecorners.
• Ifframingmembersarefurtherawayfromthechimney
than 2 in., center the roof radiation shield to the chimney
