*Combustible material is dened as material made of, or surfaced with, wood, compressed paper, plant bers,
plastic, or other material that will ignite and burn, whether ame proofed or not, or whether plastered or unplastered.
The Metal-Fab Temp/Guard Chimney is intended for use on any residential and building heating appliance
burning gas, liquid or solid fuels such as replace stoves, furnaces, ranges, room heaters, or as dened
in columns I and II, Table 2-2.1, NFPA 211. Contact Local Building or Fire Ofcials about restrictions and
Installation Inspection in your area.
WARNING: Metal-Fab Temp/Guard Chimney is not designed for use on products that operate at
continuous temperatures in excess of 650°C.
In order to achieve safe, optimum performance of the appliance, and service life of the chimney,
the chimney should be sized correctly for the connected appliance. in general, the chimney ue
should be the same size as the appliance fuel outlet. Occasionally very tall chimneys require
downsizing and very short systems require an increase in size for proper functioning of the
appliance. Installations should be done in accordance with the applicable installation code and
appliance manufacturersinstructions (eg. CSA-B149 for natural gas and propane appliances,
CSA-B139 for fuel oil appliances, and CSA-B365 for solid-fuel red applinaces). U se a trained
chimney technician to install the chimney.
Use only Metal-Fab Model Temp/Guard components. Failure to do so will void the certication and
warranty of the product.
Keep these installation and operating instructions in a safe location for future reference.
OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
•Formation of Creosote and Soot and the need for removal.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to create creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of
the slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited,
this creosote makes an extremely hot re. The chimney should be inspected at least once every
two (2) months during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If
signicant layer of creosote or soot has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney re.
WARNING: A MAJOR CAUSE OF CHIMNEY RELATED
FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES
(AIR SPACES) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.* IT IS OF
UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS CHIMNEY IS INSTALLED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: FOR SIZES 6”, 7” & 8” CHIMNEY, MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MUST BE TWO (2) INCHES AND INSTALLED
WITH PROPER SHIELDS. FOR SIZES 10” AND 12” CHIMNEY, MINIMUM
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MUST BE (2) INCHES. SHIELDS
ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR OIL BURNING APPLIANCES.

• Do not use replace for food grill. Grease from foods can collect in chimney causing replace to become
a potential re hazard.
• On airtight stoves, open dampers and let equipment burn hot for 15 to 20 minutes. This should be done
every time fuel is added. This lessens the chance of creosote buildup.
• Some chemical chimney cleaners can be harmful to the chimney. These cause accelerated oxidation
or corrosion. If chemical cleaners are used, they must be non-corrosive in nature. If brush is used, it
must be of proper size with plastic bristles.
WOOD AND COAL STOVES
If you are planning to install a wood stove, we recommend that you:
1. Choose a stove that has a label of a recognized Testing Laboratory (such as WH, UL, ULC or CSA). The
EPA approved, low emissions stoves are highly recommended.
2. Connect only one solid fuel burning appliance to a chimney. Do not connect an oil or gas burning
appliance to a chimney venting a solid fuel burning appliance.
3. Never over re your stove. If any part of the stove or stove pipe is glowing red, then you are over ring.
Immediately close the stove’s damper until system cools. The high temperatures caused by over ring
can permanently damage the stove and stove pipe and may over-heat nearby combustible walls and
furniture.
4. Install the stove and stove pipe as described in the Installation Instructions accompanying the
stove. BE CERTAIN TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE
CONSTRUCTION.
5. Keep ue gases between 135°C and 246°C. This will maximize efciency while minimizing condensation
and creosote formation.
6. Do not burn sea driftwood. Salt is highly corrosive to all types of stainless steel. Do not burn treated
lumber.
CHIMNEY FIRES
If you are having a chimney re, follow these steps:
1. Close all heater doors and combustion air controls. For replaces, block the replace opening with a
noncombustible material (such as a steel sheet).
2. Alert your family to the possible danger.
3. If you require assistance, alert your re department.
4. If possible, use a dry chemical re extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the re. Do not use water
as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion.
5. Watch for smouldering or re on combustibles next to stove, stove pipe and chimney. Check outside to
ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.
6. Do not use the stove again until your chimney and stove pipe have been inspected by a qualied
chimney sweep or Fire Department Inspector.
INSTALLATION NOTES
1. These instructions must be followed in all details. WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a hazardous
installation.
2. Except for installation in single- and two-family dwellings, factory-built chimney assemblies which
extend through any storey above that on which the connected appliance is located are to be provided
with enclosures having a re resistance rating equal to or greater than that of the oor of roof assemblies
through which they pass.
3. The safe operation of a factory-built chimney assembly is based on the use of parts supplied by the
manufacturer and the performance of the assembly may be affected if the combination of these parts is
not used in actual building construction. Acceptance of the assembly is void if the installation instructions
are not followed.

TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
1. The chimney is intended for use with solid, liquid or gas fuel
appliances.
Allowable ue gas temperature:
Maximum continuous 650°C (1200°F)
Brief forced ring 925°C (1700°F)
Tested to 1150°C (2100°F) - 30 minutes
2. For factory-built wood burning replaces, Clearance Shields
are usually not required. Refer to replace manufacturer and
follow replace installation instructions to conrm if chimney
is approved for use without shields (See FIG 1).
3. On wood stove or coal stove application and in area where
the chimney is completely enclosed, it’s required to install
Clearance Shields around the chimney. Clearance Shields
are of a telescopic, slip t design and are secured at each
joint with hex sheet metal screws provided. Locate shields
and secure at the (3) predrilled hole locations with #8 self
tapping hex screws (provided) For venting of gas or oil
burning appliances Clearance Shields are not required even
where the chimney is enclosed.

4. This chimney will provide optimum performance when installed within the heated space of a building.
The consequences of installing the chimney outdoors, up the external wall of a building could result in:
a) Back-drafting during cold weather when the connected appliance is not operating;
b) Weak, unstable draft;
c) Increased creosote accumulation;
d) Increased potential for condensation of water vapor in the chimney ue;
and
e) Decreased efciency of the connected appliance.
5. WARNING: Do not place any type of insulation or other materials in the required clearance spaces
surrounding the chimney assembly, except where such insulation or materials from part of the assembly.
6. The authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal buiding department, re department, re
prevention bureau, etc.) should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.

INSTALLATION THROUGH FLAT
CEILING(S)
1. From the appliance manufacturer’s instructions,
determine the correct ue diameter for the chimney,
and proper location of the chimney.
2. Using framing lumber equal to ceiling joist size, frame
ceiling opening as shown in FIG. 2 and TABLE 1.
TABLE 1
CHIMNEY FLUE DIAMETER
6” 7” 8” 10” 12”
A12-7/16” 13-7/16” 14-7/16” 17” 19”
B12-7/16” 13-7/16” 14-7/16” 17” 19”
NOTE: If possible, it is recommended that the chimney be located
in such a manner as to not cut the ceiling joist. The chimney can
be centered between joists on 16 inch centers in these areas.
3. As shown in FIG. 3, insert the Ceiling Support
(TGCSP) from below until the anged edges are
rmly against the ceiling drywall. Secure into framing
with eight (8) 8-penny nails inserted through the sides
of the ceiling support. If the TGCSP was installed
during construction and drywall now covers the
anged edges, install Metal-Fab’s ceiling support trim
kit (TGCST), as shown in FIG. 4.
4. If the chimney is an enclosed installation for a wood stove or
coal burning appliance the clearance shields must be
installed (TGICS-C & TGOCS-C). Begin by installing a
TGICS-C around the Temp/Guard chimney and resting
on the Temp/Guard Ceiling Support (See FIG. 3).
The TGICS-C will center itself by the brackets attached
to the shields. Continue installing the shields around
the chimney for the full enclosed height. The
clearance shields are telescoping components and
will alternate between the inside clearance shield
(TGICS-C) and outside clearance shield (TGOCS-C).
The (TGICS-C and TGOCS-C) will be held together
by (3) self tapping screws supplied with the shields.
For offsets and tees use shields TGICS15L-C,
TGICS30L-C and TGICST-C.
5. Single wall or double wall connector pipe may now be
installed between the appliance and the ceiling support.
(See FIG 3.)
If the area above the ceiling is an attic, go to step 7.
6. Proceed to the next ceiling. If Metal-Fab Elbows are to
be used because the chimney is to be offset, refer to
“Installation of Elbows” section. Directly above the
Center of the ue in the ceiling support, mark the ceiling. A
plumb bob is normally used to nd the center. Cut an
opening in the ceiling using FIG. 2 and Table 1.
7. Install Temp/Guard chimney sections starting at the
TGCSP. Secure the sections by pushing together
and twisting until stop-locked (See FIG. 5).
Additional chimney sections may be added
to maximum height of 60 feet. At each additional
ceiling, a restop (TGFSA for Unenclosed
Installation) (TGFSA-C, For enclosed Installation
using Clearance Shields) is required. Insert the
TGFSA/TGFSA-C into the joist area prepared in step
5. Continue this process for each oor level until the
area above the attic.

NOTE: When the chimney extends between oors, which
can be occupied, the chimney must be enclosed to prevent
contact. As previously noted, 2” clearance to combustibles
for 6” - 12” diameters is to be maintained, except within the
joist area controlled by the TGCSP.

INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE WALL
1. Locate the area where the chimney section is to penetrate
the vertical wall. Cut and frame an opening so that
the ue is centered between the vertical wall studs on 6”,
7”, 8”, 10” and 12” systems. Frame opening per FIG. 7 and

8. The rst chimney section through the joist area into attic is
to be approximately two (2) feet. If the pipe sections in the
levels below and in the attic are not enclosed an insulation
shield (TGIS) must be installed. The vertical height of the
attic insulation shield above attic construction material
should accomodate the amount of insulation as required by
the national building code. Lower insulation shield (TGIS)
over TG pipe until the ange is resting on the joist. Secure
the (TGIS) in place by nailing the ange to the joists.(See
FIG. 6). If the pipe sections in the levels below the attic
are enclosed and the attic is unenclosed an insulation
shield (TGIS-C) must be installed. The clearance shields
(TGICS-C & TGOCS-C) must extent through the joist area
and insulation shield (TGIS-C). The clearance shields
(TGICS-C & TGOCS-C) will terminate above the insulation
shield (TGIS-C) and a storm collar (TGASC-C) must be used
to close the gap between the TG chimney and clearance
shields preventing insulation and debris to fall between them
(See FIG. 6A and FIG. 6b). If the pipe sections are enclosed
through the attic, no insulation shield is required. The
clearance shields will need to extend up through the ashing.
9. Continue the chimney to the roof. See “Flashing Installation”
and“Termination”sections.

For wood or coal stove applications where the
Temp/Guard Chimney passes through a high pitch or chalet
ceiling, a clearance ceiling shield kit (TGCSK-C) must be
used (See FIG. 14a). Insert TGOCS-C into framed opening
and mark slope of roof and slope of ceiling. Remove from
opening and trim off excess metal from roof side and
ceiling side. Locate the (3) Z shaped spacer clips by
centering the chimney through the framed area and marking
the location within the ceiling and roof cavity. Attach (3) Z
shaped spacer clips to the Temp/Guard Chimney casing
evenly spaced around the circumference with the self
tapping screws that are provided. The Z shaped spacer clips
will center the TGOCS-C on the Temp/Guard Chimney and
rest on the Pitch Ceiling Plate.
4. Locate the TGAS over the framed opening in the roof. Nail
the brackets to the framing using a minimum of two (2) #8
nails per bracket.
5. Slip a trim sleeve joint cover (TGTS) over the end of the TG
pipe that is to go through the support and protrude into the
house. Attach a single adaptor (TGPSWA) to the female
end of the TG pipe and slip TGTS ush to the end of the
TGPSWA.
6. From below, slide TG chimney pipe section through the
opening and through the support band. Drill 1/8” holes into
the exterior casing of the TG pipe at each pilot hole in the
support band. DO NOT PENETRATE FLUE. Secure the
support band to the chimney using sheet metal screws
provided with the TGAS assembly.
7. Adjust the pipe section so that it stands vertically through
the roof. TIGHTEN all nuts to secure the pipe in the
vertical position.
8. The interior opening in the ceiling may be trimmed with a
TGPCP. Select the appropriately shaped trim plate for your
ceiling pitch (slope). Slide the trim plate over the opening
and secure to the ceiling. Determine ceiling pitch as shown
in FIG. 16.

MASONARY FIREPLACE CHIMNEY,
AND CHIMNEY EXTENSION
An anchor plate (TGAP) is used to attach Metal-Fab 1150°C
(2100°F) or 925°C (1700°F) Chimney to a masonry replace
or chimney. Maximum support height of 60 ft.
1. Where the transition is to be made, apply a bed of mortar
approximately 3/4 inches deep and approximately one
(1) inch larger than the anchor plate (See FIG. 17). See TG
Chimney Catalog for anchor plate dimensions.
2. Insert four (4) 1/4-20 x 2” anchor bolts, head down into the
mortar bed. J-style anchor bolts are preferred. An alternate
method would be to allow the mortar bed to cure. Then, drill
four (4) holes, matching the holes in the anchor plate and
insert four (4) each 1/4-20 metal anchors. The anchor plate
would then be attached by four (4) each 1/4-20 bolts.
3. Before the mortar sets, place the anchor plate over the bolts
and press down into the mortar. Loosely secure using a
washer and nut on each bolt.
4. Use a level to check the installation, assuring that the TG
chimney connection (TGAP) is level.

5. When the mortar has set up, tighten the nuts onto the bolts.
Proceed to stack Metal-Fab chimney pipe (TG) on the
anchor plate. If the chimney pipe (TG) is enclosed with
combustible materials, proper clearance shields must be
installed (See FIG. 18).
NOTE: Existing masonry ues may be extended with TG pipe
by using an anchor plate, following steps 1 through 5 above,
provided that:
a) The existing masonry chimney is structurally sound,
and;
b) The ue extension is properly sized so that the
appliance attached to the ue drafts properly.
NOTE: The TG ue size for a height less than 15 feet should be
at least 1/8 the area of the replace opening. The TG ue size
for a height over 15 feet should be at least 1/10 the area of the
replace opening. (For sizing of TG ue, See Metal-Fab literature
L1372.)
EXAMPLE: A replace opening of 20” x 24” has an area of
(480 in2) with a chimney height less than 15 feet, the effective
area is 1/8 x (480 in2) = 60 in2. Closest ue diameter size = 8”.
With a chimney height over 15 Feet, the effective area is 1/10 x
(480 in2)=48 in2. closest ue diameter size = 8”.

ELBOW INSTALLATION
1. Metal-Fab provides a 15° (TGA15) and 30° (TGA30) Elbow
to allow chimneys to avoid framing member or roof peaks.
A maximum of 30° from the vertical is allowed, and a total
of four elbows (two pair) for each chimney installation.
Maintain 2” clearance to combustibles from chimney outer
casing.
2. Attach the elbow to the chimney pipe or other support part
and twist to lock. Using the offset chart, add chimney
sections between elbows. A support band (TGSB) is
required at the upper elbow of the pair to support the load,
as shown in FIG. 20. Attach the upper elbow to bring
chimney back to vertical.
Offset combinations: See Table 3 and illustration, FIG. 19.

3. For wood or coal stove applications where the Temp/Guard
Chimney uses 15° or 30° elbows and is enclosed clearance
shields must be used. Use combinations of the inside and
outside clearance shields to telescope the components
together securing in place with the self tapping screws
provided. The elbow shields (TGICS15L-C and TGICS30L-C
are inside shields and must utilize outside shields on each
end of the elbows (See FIG. 21).
Each oor level must use a restop/ support (TGFSA or
TGFSA-C when using shields). Continue attaching the
Temp/Guard chimney and clearance shielding through the
ashing.

FLASHING INSTALLATION
1. Continue the TG chimney to the roof. Cut the roof opening,
centered over the chimney. A 2 inch airspace around the
chimney is required as it penetrates the roof. The size of
hole in the roof will vary depending on the roof pitch. Install
the next TG chimney section through the roof (See FIG. 22).

NOTE: If your roof is already shingled, be sure to slide the upper
edge of ashing under the shingles to prevent leakage.
3. Install a bead of caulk around the pipe at the top edge of
the storm collar. Wrap the storm collar around the pipe and
imbed the edge in the caulk to prevent leakage around the
pipe (See FIG. 23).
4. Continue to install pipe sections until proper termination
height is reached. See termination section.
5. For wood or coal stove applications where the attic or levels
below the roof are enclosed the clearance shields must be
used (See FIG. 24). Continue installing the Temp/Guard pipe
sections until the proper termination height is reached.
Continue the clearance shields up through the ashing and
terminate at the top edge of the ashing. The storm collar will
cover the openings between the Temp/Guard chimney,
shielding and ashing.
TERMINATION
Major building codes specify a minimum chimney height above
the roof top. These specications are summarized in what is
known as the “Ten Foot Rule”. This rule states:
If the horizontal distance from the side of the chimney to the peak
of the roof is 10 feet or less, the top of the chimney must be at
least 2 feet above the peak of the roof, but never less than 3 feet
in overall height above the highest point where it passes through
the roof (FIG. 25 on Page 12).
If the horizontal distance from the side of the chimney to the peak
of the roof is more than 10 feet, a chimney height reference point
is established on the surface of the roof a distance of 10 feet
from the side of the chimney in a horizontal plane. The top of the
chimney must be at least 2 feet above this reference point, but
never less than 3 feet in height above the highest point where it
passes through the roof (FIG. 26 on Page 12).
These chimney heights are necessary in the interest of safety and
do not ensure smoke free operation. Trees, buildings, adjoining
roof lines, adverse wind conditions, etc., may create need for a
taller chimney should smoking occur.
Additional support is required above the roof if the chimney height
exceeds four (4) feet.
Select the proper support for your application, using either a roof
brace (FIG. 27 on Page 12) or a support band with guy wires
(FIG. 28 on Page 12).
TG ROOF BRACE INSTALLATION
1. Form the attachment band around the chimney, and clamp
in place at the desired height using bolt and nut provided.
2. Loosely attach the support legs to the bolts on the
attachment band using hardware provided.
3. Position the support legs as shown in FIG. 28 on Page 12.
The length of the support legs can be adjusted by loosening
the bolt on the leg clamp.
4. Secure legs to roof using screws provided. Seal screw
holes to prevent roof leaks.
5. Tighten all hardware.
