Installation of the FTF-13 Metal Chimney System for the Fire-
Lite:
Transition from the Fire-Lite to the FTF-13 Metal
Chimney System:
The FTF-13 metal ue attaches to the smoke dome’s top
plate by use of the anchor plate. The Anchor Plate is tted with an
octagonal base plate to afx it to the smoke dome’s top plate. The
anchor plate also has starter rings for both the inner and the outer
sleeves of the metal ue (Figure 137).
Step 1. Attach the AP-ISO anchor plate to the top plate of the
re-Lite by rst laying a twenty-four inch (24”) square, half inch
(1/2”) thick (minimum) piece of ceramic ber high temperature
blanket (“Inswool” Ceramic Fiber HP Blanket, rated for tempera-
tures up to 2400 degrees F., by Harbison-Walker Refractories Co.
600 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, or equal.) on the top of the
top plate.
Cut a hole approximately 11” in diameter in the center of the high
temperature blanket and align the blanket on the ue hole in the
top plate (Figure 136).
Step 2. Fit the AP-ISO Anchor Plate assembly onto the top plate
so that the inner ue sleeve projecting out the bottom of the anchor
plate is inserted through the high temperature blanket and into the
hole in the top plate. The high temperature blanket is held between
the anchor plate and the top plate as a gasket (Figure 137).
Attach Anchor Plate to the top plate with masonry attachment
crews through holes provided in the anchor plate into the top plate.
Do not over torque masonry screws into the Fire-Lite material.
Chimney Terminations:
FTF-13 chimney pipe requires a termination component
to be installed at or near the top of the chimney chase ashing
(Figure 138).
The FTF-13-CTD Round Termination is the recommend-
ed termination.
Installation:
Step 1. Hold the FTF13-CTD over top of last chimney section.
Step 2. Center inner slip section in inner ue pipe and slip down.
Step 3. Center outer locking section over outer ue pipe. Push
down until locking tabs are rmly engaged.
Step 4. Pull up slightly on CTD to ensure locking joint has rmly
engaged.
Note: It is recommended that all exterior exposed metal chimney
components - such as terminations, ashings, and ue - be painted
with a premium quality, high temperature, rust preventative paint
designed for metal. This is especially important when installations
are made in abnormally adverse or corrosive environments such as
near lakes and oceans or, in areas with consistently high humid-
ity conditions. Consult the paint manufacturer’s instructions for
proper preparation and application.
