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.
U.S.: In the United States, the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (NFPA) has established guidelines
for passing chimney connectors through combus-
tible walls. Many building code inspectors follow
these guidelines when approving installations.
The following illustration shows one NFPA-recommend
-
ed method. All combustible material in the wall is cut
away a sufficient distance from the single-wall connec-
tor to provide the required 12” (305 mm) clearance for
the connector. Any material used to close up the open-
ing must be noncombustible.
Three other methods are also approved by the NFPA.
These are:
• Using a section of double-wall chimney with a 9”
(229 mm) clearance to combustibles.
• Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a ven-
tilated thimble, which is then separated from combus-
tibles by 6” (152 mm) of fiberglass insulating material.
• Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a sec-
tion of 9” (229 mm) diameter, solid-insulated, factory-
built chimney, with 2” (51 mm) of air space between the
chimney section and combustibles.
Canada: The Canadian Standards Association has
established different guidelines. The illustration
below shows one method, in which all combus-
tible material in the wall is cut away to provide the
required 18” (457 mm) clearance for the connector.
The resulting space must remain empty. A flush-
mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one
side only. If covers must be used on both sides,
each cover must be mounted on noncombustible
spacers at least 1” (25 mm) clear of the wall. Your
local dealer or your local building inspector can
provide details of other approved methods of pass-
ing a chimney connector through a combustible
wall.
In Canada, this type of installation must conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burn-
ing Appliances and Equipment.
NOTE: Do not vent your Resolute Acclaim into a
factory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace under any
circumstances. The Resolute Acclaim has not been
specifically tested and listed for this type of in-
stallation. These appliances and their chimneys are
specifically designed as a unit for use as fireplaces. It
may void the listing or be hazardous to adapt them for
any other use.
DO NOT CONNECT THE RESOLUTE ACCLAIM TO
ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
