INSTALLATION
CONNECTION TO A METAL
PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used,
the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be
followed precisely. It will be necessary to install the
ceiling support package or wall pass through, and “T”
section package, restops (when needed), insulation
shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any other
materials deemed necessary by the instructions of
manufacturer of the prefabricated chimney. Maintain
the proper clearance to the structure as recommended
by the manufacturer. This clearance is usually a
minimum of 2", although it may vary by manufacturer
or for certain components. Follow the manufacturers’
instructions carefully.
There are basically two methods of metal chimney
installation. One method is to install the chimney inside
the residence through the ceiling and the roof. Install
an attic insulation shield to maintain the specified
clearance to insulation. Insulation in this air space will
cause a heat buildup which may ignite the ceiling joists.
This method of installation requires, at minimum, a
ceiling support package, an insulation shield and roof
ashing. See Figures 13 and 14.
LISTED FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEY: Your Cape Cod requires a 6" diam-
eter pipe. Follow the installation instructions provided by the
chimney manufacturer and maintain the specified clearances to
combustibles.
When using a factory-built chimney, make sure it is safety listed, Type UL103
HT CLASS “A” or conforming to CAN/ULC-S629M, STANDARD FOR 650°C
FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEYS.
The other method is to install an exterior
chimney that runs up the outside of the residence.
See Figures 15 and 16. (The components illustrated
may not look exactly like the system you purchase,
but they demonstrate the basic components necessary
for a proper and safe installation.)
The chimney must be the required height above
the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper
draft operation. The requirement is that the chimney
must be at least 3' higher than the highest point
where it passes through the roof and at least 2' higher
than the highest part of the roof or structure that is
within 10' of the chimney, measured horizontally.
