but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor
may enter the chase under certain conditions.
Thereplacewillnotperformasanexteriorwall.Moisture
penetration must be considered for construction that places
thereplaceinstructurewallsoronmoisturesensitivesur-
faces.
When installed on exterior walls:Hearth&HomeTech-
nologies recommends that the replace chase be con-
structed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where
theplatformmeetsthewall,useaashingdetailsimilarto
that required for attached decks. Chase platforms, including
hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/8 in. to

separately or can be constructed of metal, adhesive polymer
membrane (such as ice and water shield) or other suitable
materials. A means of drainage out of the pan such as tubes
or weep holes should be provided. A slope of 1/8 in. to 1/4
in.perfoottowardsthedrainportissuggested.Thereplace
can be shimmed level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the replace
and chase at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot. Spark strips must be
on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture
management.

B. Assemble the Chimney Sections
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or dam-
aged chimney components.
• Use only those components described in this manual.
Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair
safeoperationandcauseoverheatingandre.
• Support the pipe during construction and check to be sure
inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney section
fromthereplaceoratanychimneyjoint.
• Attachthetransitionsectiontothetopofthereplace.
• Placeinneruetotheinsideofthechimneysectionbelow
it. Place the outer casing outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. Refer to Figure 5.1.
NOTICE: CHIMNEY SECTIONS CANNOT BE
DISASSEMBLED ONCE LOCKED TOGETHER. PLAN
AHEAD!
• Lockchimneysectionsand/oro󰀨sets/returnstogetherby
pushing downward until the top section meets the stop
bead on the lower section.
• Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged
and will not separate.
• You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than
1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do
NOTpenetrateinnerue.
• Fasten o󰀨set/returns to chimney sections. Insert the
screws (provided) through the predrilled holes. DoNOT
penetrateinnerue.
• Secure chimney returns with hanger straps (provided);
fasten to studs or joists.
• Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every
35 ft (10.7 m).

C. Installing the Attic Insulation Shield
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST install an attic
installation shield when there is any possibility of insulation
or other combustible material coming into contact with the
chimney.
• DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and the
attic insulation shield.
• Failure to keep insulation and other materials away
fromthechimneypipecouldcauseare.
• DO NOT o󰀨setchimneyinsideinsulationshield.
• Combustible material may come into contact with
the attic insulation shield as long as the required
clearances are maintained to the chimney pipe.
Installationofaceilingrestopisrequired:
Note: In Canada a CAS10 must also be installed. See
instructions provided with kit.
• Refer to Figures 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4.
• Iftheatticshieldispre-rolledcontinue.Ifitisaatpart,
try to roll it up to aid in wrapping it around the chimney.
• Pre-bend all the tabs in at the top to 45 degrees.
• Wrap the shield (around the chimney if already
installed) until you have an overlap and the three holes
on each side match up (large holes on top).
• Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a
tube starting at the bottom.
• Bend the tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90
degrees to maintain chimney air space.
• Resttheinsulationshieldontheceilingrestopbelow.
• Tapeo󰀨anyopeningsaroundthebottom.
If you want to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these
guidelines:
• Metal is preferred, although any material sti󰀨
enough to hold back the insulation can be used.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other
materials that can deect under humidity or other
environmental conditions is not recommended.
• The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend
above the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation
from spilling into the cavity and accommodate the
amount of insulation as required by the National
Building Code.
• Maintainspeciedairspacesaroundchimney.
• Check instructions and local codes for further details.
Double-check the Chimney Assembly
Continue assembling the chimney sections up through
theceilingrestopsasneeded.Whiledoingso,beaware
of the height and unsupported chimney length limitations
given under Section 5.A.
Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to
ensure proper engagement before installing the succeeding
sections. If they have been connected correctly, they will
not disengage when tested.
