4.0.1 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY
You can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To do
so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, it
is important that it be built in compliance with the specifi cations of the
Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fi re clay
bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fi re cement. (Round
fl ues are the most effi cient).

A. Remove the fi replace damper or fasten it permanently open.
* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.
B. * Measure the throat of the fi replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (fl ue
cover); cut a six-inch (6 3/4” / 171mm) hole to lie directly below the fi replace fl ue opening. Allow two
inches of material for a fl ange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the fl anges. If you
have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it fi rst. Fasten
this fl ue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the fl anges into
the fi replace.
In Canada: Install a listed 6" (152mm) diameter fl exible stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney to the
insert fl ue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the fl ue collar. Fasten
with three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney fl ashing. Cap
the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.
In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continu-
ous from the insert to the top of the chimney, particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type
of connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above.
If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct fl ue connection” must be made. The direct fl ue connection requires a
non-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney fl ue liner and also that the installed fl ue
cover be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the chimney
fl ue with air from inside the house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO
NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
