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.
2.1 Listed factory-built chimneys: Your Don-
Bar fireplace is designed to be installed with any
prefabricated chimney bearing the ULC-S629
(2100 degrees). The interior diameter varies
according to the model. See pages 9 and 10.

4. Before beginning the installation
3.1 Choosing the best location: Before
beginning the installation, make sure the spot you
have in mind for the fireplace and the chimney
meet the following requirements:
3.1.1 Chimney: Position the chimney to avoid,
as much as possible, offsets, elbows and the
cutting-out of structural elements. The weight of
the chimney must not rest on the stove. 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. Do not
connect this fireplace to a chimney that is
connected to another heating device.
3.1.2 Chimney minimum height: 15 feet (4600
mm) for proper operation. This length is
measured from the floor where the fireplace is
installed to the top of the chimney.
3.1.3 Minimum clearances from combustible
materials : The location of the fireplace must
meet the minimal specified clearances
requirements 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. (See Page 9 and 10).
5.1 Listed parts: Use only ULC or UL listed
parts supplied by the chimney manufacturer when
installing the chimney. The chimney must be
installation in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

5.1 Ceiling (or wall) support installation: Use
and install only parts furnished by the
manufacturer of the chimney.
5.2 Chimney lengths installation: Continue
with the installation of the chimney by
positioning lengths with the male end up. The
attic insulation must never be in contact with the
chimney. Allow at least 2" (50 mm) for air space
between the chimney and any combustible
material.
5.3 Minimum chimney height above the roof:
(Drawing 3): Extend the chimney at least 3 feet
(1 m) above the roof or 2 feet (610 mm) above
any construction element within 10 feet (3 m) of
the chimney.
5.4 Flashing water tightness: Install a metal
roof flashing with a storm collar where the
chimney pass meets the roof. Seal the joint
between the chimney and the storm collar and the
joint between the roofing and the flashing.
4.2 Maximum allowed offsets: Don't install
more than 4 elbows in the chimney. Offsets 5.5 Roof braces: Any chimney that extends
cannot be more than 30 degrees from the vertical more than 6 feet (2 m) above the roof needs to be
axis. The sum of all offsets (elbows) must never laterally strengthened with a pair of telescopic
exceed the number 120. For example, maximum roof braces.
allowed offsets would include: two 30-degree
elbows (4 elbows x 30 degrees =120) or an offset 5.6 Chimney top: Install a chimney round top at
of 30 degrees plus another one of 15 degrees (2 the end of the chimney.
elbows x 30 degrees + 2 elbows x 15 degrees =
90).
4.3 Radiation shield/firestop: Install a radiation
shield/firestop every time the chimney passes 6.1 Stove pipe: Always install the pipes with the
through a combustible wall or ceiling. male end up so that any condensation water can
drip and stay inside the pipe.
4.4 Chimney weight: The weight of the
chimney must be supported at regular intervals
according to the manufacturer's instructions. The
weight of the chimney must never be
supported by the fireplace. In addition, offset
supports must be installed above and as close as
possible to each offset (elbow) in the chimney.

7.2 Telescopic duct installation:
7.3
6.2 Stove pipe selection:
9.1 Heating a basement (Drawing 5): Your
Don-Bar CFS Fireplace is designed to permit the
heating of a lower floor. For this reason, an
opening have been provided into the rear side of
the case to allow for the installation of a vertical
telescopic heating duct.
Fix the duct to
the back of the fireplace as shown in Drawing 5.
If necessary, if the warm air outlet in the
basement is not in line with the telescopic duct,
complete the installation with a length of flexible
insulated duct.
Fitting the axial fan: The axial fan for
heating the basement is installed at the end of the
duct near the basement ceiling. Just insert the fan
into the duct and secure it in place with a t-wrap
around the insulated duct.
7.4 Recommended ducts for heating: Use only
non combustible ducts of 6" (150 mm) I.D.
insulated with a fiberglass layer and a flexible
protective covering. (total: 8" / 200 mm O.D.)
Don't use ducts that have an inner side made
of combustible plastics.
: Choose a stove pipe in
order to meet the minimum clearances below. In
any case, the space between the stove pipe and a
combustible wall (or ceiling) shall be less than:
.1 Single wall stove pipe: 18 "(460 mm).
.2 Single wall stove pipe plus a metal
deflector: 9" (230 mm).
. .3 ULC listed double wall pipe: 6 "(150 mm)
6.3 Securing stove pipe sections: Use 3 metal
screws at each joint between the lengths of the
stove pipe and between the stove pipe and
chimney.

8. Floor protection installation
8.2 Removing the existing resilient flooring:
Prior to installing the floor protection, remove
any existing resilient flooring. (carpet, etc.)
9.1 Anti-smoke flap (optional): For installation
details, see Drawing 27.
9.2 Humidifier tray: Place the tray as in
Drawing 7.
9.3 Ash shelf: Slide the shelf in place as in
Drawing 7.
8.1 Non combustible floor protection: When the
fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, a
non-combustible protection must be placed under
and in front of the fireplace to protect the floor
from falling embers (Drawing 6). The joints of
the floor protection shall be perfectly fitted or
filled with grout. The floor protection must
extend at least 18" (460 mm) in front of the
fireplace door and 8" (200 mm) on each side.
Floor protection may consist of:

etc.) or ceramic at least 3/8" (8 mm) thick,
secured in place;
.2 Concrete or terra-cotta brick, secured in
place;
