Typical installation through the ceiling
FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling
1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the
ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position
slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud
finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum
clearances to combustible materials. After you have determined where the
chimney will go through the ceiling, use a spoke saw or power jig saw to cut a hole,
remembering that you need a minimum 2-inch clearance between the chimney and
any combustible materials. Depending on whether you have a one or two story
structure, you will need to cut a matching hole through the floor of the attic or
second floor living space.
