Fireplace Chimney Installations -
Through a Fireplace
If your fireplace height is at least 635 mm (25”), you
may install an Intrepid Multi-fuel with standard legs
through the fireplace opening using a 90° Tee kit avail-
able from your local dealer. This positive connection kit
ensures a tight fit between the stove flue collar and the
chimney flue. (Fig. 6)
Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue
above or through the fireplace opening, have special
clearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel.
You will find the required clearances for the Intrepid
Multi-fuel fireplace installations on Page 12.
Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace
installations. Floor protection information is on Page 8.
face of the flue liner, and cemented securely in place.
Additional pieces of connector are then attached with
sheet metal screws.
Fireplace Chimney Installations -
Above a Fireplace
The Intrepid Multi-fuel may be connected to a chimney
above a fireplace opening also. In such installations,
the stove is positioned on the hearth in front of the fire-
place and the chimney connector rises from the stove
top and then angles 45° back into the chimney. (Fig. 5)

The chimney liner should extend to the point at which
the chimney connector enters the chimney.
If the chimney connector from your installation enters
the chimney above a fireplace, follow all the guidelines
mentioned above for freestanding installations. In addi-
tion, give special consideration to the following points:
• Check the clearance between the stove and the
chimney connector, and any combustible trim or the
mantel. Use the necessary combination of mantel,
trim, and connector heat shields to achieve the required
clearances.
• Check the clearance between the chimney con
-
nector and the ceiling. If no heat shields are used, the
clearance should be at least 660 mm (26”). To find out
how much this clearance may be reduced with heat
shields, see the clearance chart on Page 12.
• The fireplace damper must be sealed to prevent
room air from escaping up the flue. However, it must
be possible to reopen the damper to inspect or clean
the chimney.

Wall Pass-Throughs
Whenever possible, design your installation so that the
connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If
you are considering a wall pass-through in your instal-
lation, check with your building inspector before you
begin. Also, check with the chimney connector manu-
facturer for any specific requirements.
Accessories are available for use as wall pass-
throughs. If using one of these, make sure it has been
tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.
