Purchasea wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.The safety features of this system are two fold: 1) A 2" (51mm) air space between the chimney section and combustible wall; and, 2)The 1" (25mm) air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the chimney section to the chimney.The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18" (457mm) vertical clearance between theconnector pipe and the ceiling to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.Measure as shown in Figure 13A. Cut an opening in the wall large enough to accommodate the outside dimension of the chimneysection plus the minimum air space specified by its manufacturer. It may be necessary to cut the wall studs and install a headerand a sill frame to maintain the wall support. The hole in the chimney must have at least an 8" (203mm) diameter fire clay lineror equivalent, secured with refractory mortar.
