CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY WHEN CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
DOES NOT PASS THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL
PART E - (FIGURE 8)
In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and D of Figure 8, 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.
If the chimney connector does not have to pass through a combustible wall to get to a masonry chimney,
simply connect the chimney connector directly to the masonry chimney's chimney thimble as described and
shown by parts C and D of Figure 8. Remember, the chimney connector should extend into the chimney
thimble to the inner face of the chimney ue but not beyond; if the chimney connector is extended through
the chimney thimble into the chimney ue, resistance to the ow of smoke and gases up the chimney will
occur; that ow resistance will have an adverse affect on the operation and performance of the heater and
venting system.

through the wall pass-through system to the inner face of the chimney ue, but not beyond. It does not
have to be fastened in place so long as it cannot accidently be pulled out of the chimney or shoved
into the chimney ue. If fasteners are used to secure the chimney connector to a masonry chimney, the
fasteners shall not penetrate the chimney ue liner.
5. Any material used to close up any opening for the connector shall be noncombustible.
