IMPORTANT
The installation shall meet the requirements of CAN/CSA B-365 - Installation
code for solid-fuel-burning appliances and equipment.
Don-Bar fireplaces are not designed to be connected to air-ventilated
factory-built chimneys (chimneys without insulation).
The ceiling support (standard or cathedral) is universal and used with all the
fireplaces mentioned in this manual. The installation can be done in two
practical steps:
1) The chimney and its ceiling support can be installed during the
the construction phase; the fireplace is not required for this step.
2) Then, you can wait until the work is complete to select the fireplace
model and proceed to final installation. This protects the fireplace
from being damaged and there is no hassle of protecting the fireplace
during construction.
If you are not sure

which fireplace you'll be choosing, it's best to allow
A gas burner (propane or natural gas) with ceramic logs can also be installed.
The burner and its accessories must be certified by the concerned authorities
and meet the local codes and regulations where the fireplace will be installed.
CAUTION: The painted finish of the cathedral and regular ceiling
supports must remain visible to the eye. Because of dangers of fire,
these elements should not be covered with finishing materials other
than those supplied and approved by Don-Bar.

PART 1: INSTALLATION
WARNING: Any modification, change, or
substitution of any fireplace component and/or
not following the installation, operation, and
maintenance instructions will void the
warranty and can put your security at risk.
1.1 Before installation begins, carefully read the
manual and contact your local building
department to determine whether a building
permit is required to install a fireplace.
1.2 The installation must follow the instructions
in this manual and local building codes. If there is
a conflict, you must follow the more restrictive
measures.
1.3 For your security, enlist the services of a
professional fireplace fitter for the installation.
1.4 Before lighting your first fire, read the
instructions in Part 2 regarding Security,
Operation and Maintenance.
1.5 Your fireplace produces heat and provides
great ambiance but it should not be used as the
main source of heating.
2.1 Listed factory-built chimneys: Your Don-
Bar fireplace is designed to be installed with any
prefabricated chimney bearing the ULC-S610 or
UL-103HT label. The chimney inside diameter
shall be 10" (250 mm). If the height of the
insulated chimney above the ceiling support
exceeds 18' (5500 mm), a chimney of 8" I.D. (200
mm) is acceptable.

have in mind for the fireplace and the chimney 3.3 Chimney minimum height: 15 feet (4600
meet the following requirements: mm). This length is measured from the floor
where the fireplace is installed to the top of the
chimney.
3.4 Outside air intake: Outside air needs to
circulate into the fireplace. The outside air intake
duct needs to pass under the floor that supports
the fireplace. Plan an appropriate path for this 6"
to 8" (150 to 200 mm) outside diameter duct,
including its insulated jacket.
3.2 Chimney: Position the chimney to avoid, as
much as possible, offsets, elbows and the cutting-
out of structural elements. Allow at least 2" (50
mm) for air space between the chimney and any
combustible material including electrical cables,
and plastic plumbing pipes. Never fill this air
space with insulation. For example, if the
chimney has an outside diameter of 12" (305
mm), by adding the required 2" (50 mm) air
space, a 16" (406 mm) free continuous path is
required to install the chimney. Note: The
standard ceiling support requires a free vertical
space of 17” x 17” (430 mm) and the cathedral

3.5 Minimum clearances from combustible
materials: Make sure the wood basket (see
drawings 2 and 3) is at least 12" (305 mm) from
any combustible material, including furniture,
drapes and other flammable objects. Note that
Type X fire-resistant gypsum board (Firecode) is
considered combustible for fireplaces
installations and as such requires the minimum
12" (305 mm) clearance.
3.6 Exterior doors and windows: As much as
possible, avoid installing the fireplace too close to
an outside door or window because air turbulence
and drafts disrupt the chimney draft.
4.1 Choosing the ceiling support: If you have a
horizontal ceiling, use the regular Don-Bar
ceiling support. For a sloped ceiling, use the
Don-Bar cathedral ceiling support.
5.1 Wood frame: Build a ceiling wood frame of
17" x 17" I.D. (432 mm x 432 mm) to anchor the
ceiling support. The ceiling support long bolts
are spaced at 18" c/c (457 mm). Level the frame
so that the suspended hood will be plumb. Note
that these wood frame dimensions are required
to fix the ceiling support. Elsewhere, the
chimney may require smaller clearances. See
the requirements of the chimney's
manufacturer for more details.
5.2 Ceiling support fastening: Secure the
regular Don-Bar ceiling support to the wood
frame with 4 long bolts at least 3" (75 mm) long
by 3/8" (10 mm) diameter.
5.3 Chimney: Start the chimney installation by
slipping the first chimney section into the ceiling
support. Be sure the chimney fits well into the
ceiling support before proceeding with other
chimney sections.

6.2 Ceiling support fastening : Secure the
ceiling support to the wood frame with 8 long
bolts at least 1,5" (40 mm) long by 5/16" (8 mm)
diameter (2 long bolts per side).
6.3 Outside air intake (Ventilated cathedral
support only) : The diameter of the outside air
intake is 6" (150 mm). If necessary, it is possible
to connect an insulated flexible duct to supply
outside air to the fireplace.
6.4 Chimney start: Begin the installation of the
chimney by slipping the first chimney section into
the cathedral ceiling support. Be sure the chimney
fits well into the ceiling support before
proceeding with other chimney sections. Never
let the attic insulation be in contact with the
chimney. Always allow a 2" (50 mm) minimum
air space between the chimney and adjacent
materials.

14. BBQ grill installation
15. Gas burner (optional)
14.1 BBQ brackets installation: Fix one of the
three BBQ grill brackets on each side of the
fireplace wood basket with the supplied wing nuts
and bolts. Next, install the support rod and the
BBQ grill at the desired level.
15.5 Connection of the outside air intake:The
outside air intake located below the burner support
plate must be connected to a flexible insulated duct
of at least 6” diameter. The air intake’s flexible duct
must be extended to reach the outdoors and a fresh
air supply. It should not end in an attic space,
another room, crawl space or any other confined
space; that space being vented or not.
15.1 Gas Burner (Propane or Natural Gas):
The installation requires a special table equipped
with a support plate and integrated air intake, as
well as a pedestal with an access door (Drawing
15). The installation must follow the instructions
of the burner manufacturer, local codes and the
present section of this manual where it is most
restrictive.
15.2 Regulations and certification: The
installation must be done in conformity with the
standards regulating gas installations in the locality
where the fireplace will be installed. The burner and
its accessories must have the approved
certification of the authorities of the country in
question
.
15.3 Neutral pressure required: Special care
must be taken regarding pressures and air
movements inside the area where the fireplace will
be installed. There must be no negative pressure
(vacuum) in the fireplace’s environment. The
outside air intake supplied with the fireplace only
serves to ensure it’s correct operation in a neutral
pressured environment. Certain conditions that are
out of our control ( Air exchangers, windows,
dryers, cooker hoods, air movements between
floors, etc.) can produce negative pressures in the
fireplace’s environment. In that case, all required
measures must be taken to rebalance pressure and
obtain neutral or, even better, a slightly positive
pressure.
15.4 CO detector: A carbon monoxide detector
must be installed in the room where the fireplace
will be installed. Check batteries on a regular basis. DRAWING 15
