package, restops (when needed), insulation shield,
roof ashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper
clearance to the structure as recommended by the
manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum
of 2”, although it may vary by manufacturer or for
certain components. A listed chimney cap should
be installed to prevent entrance of rain and help
eliminate down drafts. An unapproved chimney
cap, protector or spark arrester can become
clogged when leaves or other matter. This blocks
the chimney and causes smoke, and the dangerous
carbon monoxide in smoke, to spill back into your
home where it can kill you.
There are basically two methods of metal
prefabricated chimney installation. One method is
to install the chimney inside the residence through
the ceiling and the roof. The other method is to
install an exterior chimney that runs up the outside
of the residence. Single wall pipe is not legal
for outside installation. REMEMBER: Follow the
chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions
and maintain the manufacturer’s specied
clearance distance.
Additional chimney information is presented
throughout this manual. READ IT THOROUGHLY
TO BE MORE THOROUGHLY INFORMED.
PART E
In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and
D, a listed factory-built wall pass-through system
may be purchased and installed according to the
instructions packaged with it to provide a safe
method of passing chimney connector through
a combustible wall for a connection to a masonry
chimney.
