CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEYWhen a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followedprecisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wallpass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap,etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. This clearance isusually a minimum of 2” (50mm), although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain components.There are basically two methods of metal chimney installation. One method is to install the chimney inside theresidence through the ceiling and the roof (Figure 12). The other method is to install an exterior chimney thatruns up the outside of the residence (Figure 13). The components illustrated may not look exactly like thesystem you purchase, but they demonstrate the basic components you will need for a proper and safeinstallation.The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and proper draftoperation. The chimney must be a minimum of 3’ (914mm) higher than the highest point where it passesthrough the roof, and at least 2’ (610mm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10’(3048mm) of the chimney, measured horizontally (Figure 5, page 9).REMEMBER: Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and maintain the manufacturer’s specifiedclearance distances.Page 14FIGURE 12INTERIOR CHIMNEY , RUNNINGTHROUGH CEILING AND ROOF
