suspending a plumb bob from the ceiling over
the exact center of your stove ue and mark
a spot on the ceiling to indicate the center of

be cut they must be made structurally sound
again. Install chimney according to chimney
manufacturers instructions. A chimney
connector cannot pass through an attic or roof
space, closet or similar concealed space, or a
oor, ceiling, wall or partition of combustible
