3. Both methods must be removable and replaceable
for cleaning and re-installation.
• When possible, install an airtight clean-out door to the
rear of the smoke shelf.
NOTE: Masonry chimneys are signicantly less than ideal
for venting solid fuel appliances. A masonry chimney is not
subject to any temperature limit test, therefore a full reline is
strongly recommended.
E. Prefabricated Metal Chimney
The chimney can be new or existing, masonry or prefabricated
and must meet the following minimum requirements:
• Must be minimum 152 mm inside diameter of high
temperature chimney.
• Must use components required by the manufacturer for
installation.
• Must maintain clearances required by the manufacturer
for installation.
• Refer to manufacturers instructions for installation
•This insert is listed to UL 1482 Standard and is approved
for installation into listed factory-built solid fuel replaces
listed to UL 127 conforming to the following specications
and instructions:
•The original factory-built clearance replace chimney cap
must be re-installed after installing the approved chim-
ney liner meeting type UL 103 HT requirements (2100°F)
per UL 1777.
•The liner must be securely attached to the insert ue collar
and the chimney top.
•The air ow of the factory-built solid fuel replace system
must not be altered. The ue liner top support attach-
ment must not reduce the air ow for the existing air-
cooled chimney system.
•No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.
1. Secure the replace damper in the open position. If
this cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to
remove the damper.
2. Seal damper area of chimney around chimney
connector with a high temperature sealant or seal
insert against the face of the replace.
3. Both methods must be removable and replaceable
for cleaning and re-installation.
NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for recom-
mendations on supporting the liner. Installation into
replaces without a permit will void the listing.
A. Venting Systems
Chimney Connector: It is also known as ue pipe or stove
pipe. It must be 152 mm minimum diameter stainless steel
connector pipe.
Chimney: The chimney can be new or existing, masonry
or prefabricated and must meet the following minimum
requirements as specied below.
B. Inspections
Existing chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by a
qualied professional prior to installation. The chimney must
not have cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration
and blockage.
C. Larger Chimneys
Hearth & Home recommends that chimneys with larger
diameters than 152 mm be fully relined. An oversized
ue can affect draft and impair performance and will allow
increased build-up of creosote which is why a full reline is
strongly recommended.
D. Masonry Chimney
• Must have at least 16 mm reclay lining joined with
refractory cement.
NOTE: Installations into a clay flue without a
stainless steel liner may reduce draw which affects
performance, will cause the glass to darken and
produce excessive creosote and create start-up
issues.
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block,
must be a minimum of 102 mm nominal thickness.
• A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 305 mm thick.
• Should be lined with a 152 mm stainless steel ue liner
to improve performance and reduce creosote build-up
and difculty starting a re.
•An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system
or other approved material.
• No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.
1. Secure the replace damper in the open position. If
this cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to
remove the damper
2. Seal damper area of chimney around chimney
connector with a high temperature sealant or seal
insert against the face of the replace.

Fire Risk
When lining air-cooled factory-built chimneys:.
• Run approved chimney liner
• Re-install original factory built chimney cap ONLY
• DO NOT block cooling air openings in chimney
• Blocking cooling air will overheat the chimney
WARNING
E. Prefabricated Metal Chimney (Cont’d)
To maintain the functionality of the replace’s chimney
system you may use a Simpson Dura-Vent DuraLiner
Slip Hanger, Part # 4671, and attach to the bottom of the
replace chimney cap to support the liner. You have two
options to completing the installation.
Option one - Not required to use liner cap:
Re-attach the existing top of the chimney cap.
Option two - Using liner cap:
Re-attach the existing top of the chimney cap and install
a new storm collar and a new liner cap.

F. Installation Into A Masonry Fireplace
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of
your local inspection authority. It is recommended to use
a full liner as it is the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should be able to
help you decide which system would be the best for your
application.
The use of this connection method not only increases
the safety of your insert by directing the hot gases up the
ue, but will also help increase the unit’s efciency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected ue or liner is in use, the insert is able
to “breathe” better by allowing a greater draft to be created.
This great draft can decrease problems such as difcult
start-ups, smoking out the door and dirty glass.
G. Installation Into A Factory Built Fireplace
1. When installed in a factory built replace, a full stainless
steel rigid is mandatory, for both safety and performance
purposes. When a ue or liner is in use, the insert is able
to breathe better by allowing a great draft to be created.
The great draft can decrease problems such as difcult
start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the ue liner, the existing rain cap
must be removed from your chimney system. In most
cases the ue damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark screens fully
should give enough room for the insert installation. If it
does not, remove and store.
4. If the oor of your replace is below the level of the
replace opening, adjust the inserts leveling bolts to
accommodate the difference. When additional shimming
is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the ue liner
with the position of the smoke outlet hole on the insert
to check for possible offset. If an offset is required, use
a proper stainless steel unit available with the chimney
liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide your
insert into position after rst positioning the ue liner
and offset if required. (Re-install raincap at completion
of installation).

1. Either locate the appliance in position or by measuring at the ceiling mark the ue pipe centre position.
Check that the outer casing is unobstructed through the attic space or roof area.
2. Spike the centre with a nail. Transfer this position to the next surface above. Plumb bob/laser.
3. Cut out the ceiling penetration hole – square or rectangle – short axis equals outer casing diameter
plus 50mm, long axis as required. See Table 5 . Perform the same at the roof penetration.
4. Frame out the hole with minimum 75 x 50 timber or as required for roong material. Minimum
requirement at roof penetration see NZ Building Code E2 Acceptable Solution (from 01/07/05).
5. Install the outer casing so that :-
(i) lower end is ush with the underside of the ceiling material and
(ii) with the addition of metal “L” brackets, afx to the outer casing at 90 degrees secure the outer
casing centrally to the ceiling and roof nogs. Alternatively substitute the “L” brackets for 25mm thick
non heat sensitive packers. Secure the outer casing through the packers with horizontal xings to
the nogs. Refer to the General Instruction for termination height. The option of outer casing slips to
be taken into account.
6. Flash the outer casing to the roof material with the appropriate approved ashing.
7. If using an outer/inner casing combination, now install the inner casing ensuring it extends a minimum
200mm above the high side of the roof penetration. If not using a combination see ‘11’ below.
8. Refer to Firebox Installation, points 1 & 2.
9. Prepare the ceiling plate and place upside down over the ue spigot.
10. Install the ue pipes by preferred method – either up or down the outer casing. Afx each length
per the notes in General Instructions (above). Extend the ue pipe above the outer casing to suit
the casing cover/cowl assembly.
11. If the inner casing has not been installed, install now. Refer to 7 above for minimum height.
12. Install the cowl assembly, i.e. Top spacer, casing cover and cowl.
13. Position and secure the ceiling plate with the screws and spacers.
14. Wipe the ue pipe to remove nger marks.
