5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee,
ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the
bottom of the tee. When the wall support is level and properly positioned, you can
use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs. To complete the installation, install an
insulated tee plug below the wall support.
6- You can start to add chimney sections. We recommend that you also use locking
bands to secure all connections. You will need to secure the chimney to the house
using wall bands. Wall bands wrap around the chimney and then attach to the
wall. Install the first one 3 feet above the wall support. Then, you will need
another band for each 8 feet of chimney. Note: if your chimney must be
installed through your soffit, install a roof flashing above and finishing plate
below where the roof is cut. Consult the following section called “CEILING
SUPPORT SYSTEM” for more details.
7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest
point where it passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above
any portion of the building within 10 feet. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet
above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required.
