The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL1 and meet
the type HT requirements of UL10. Factory-built replace
chimneys tested to UL1-1998, may be at the replace
manufacturer’s option, tested to the same criteria as UL10
HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT
requirements, or if the factory-built replace was tested prior
to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed
from the appliance ue collar to the chimney top. The liner
must meet type HT requirements (100ºF) per UL 1.
The liner must be securely attached to the insert ue collar
and the chimney top. To prevent room air passage to the
chimney cavity of the replace, seal either the damper area
around the chimney liner with high temperature sealant or
the replace front with berglass batting. Circulating air
chambers (i.e. in a steel replace liner or metal heat circula-
tor) may not be blocked.
The replace must not be altered, except that the damper
may be removed to accommodate a direct-connect starter
pipe or chimney liner, and external trim pieces which do not
affect the operation of the replace may be removed provid-
ing they can be stored on or within the replace for reassem-
bly if the insert is removed.
The following modications of factory-built replaces are
permissible:
• removal of damper
• removal of smoke shelf or bafe
• removal of ember catches
• removal of re grate
• removal of viewing screen/curtain
• removal of doors.
The permanent metal warning label provided must be
attached to the back of the replace, with screws or nails,
stating that the replace may have been altered to accom-
modate the insert, and must be returned to original condition
for use as a conventional replace.
Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon
the authority having jurisdiction.

ment must not reduce the air ow for the existing air-cooled

mendations on supporting the liner.
