ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Eachdoublewallchimneysectionconsists
ofagalvanizedouterpipe,astainlesssteel
inneruepipeandawirespacer.Pipesec-
tionsmustbeassembledindependentlyas
chimneyisinstalled.Whenconnectingchim-
neydirectlytoreplace,inneruepipesec-
tionmustbeinstalledrstwithlancedside
up.Outerpipesectioncanthenbeinstalled
overuepipesectionwithhemmedendup.
Pressdownoneachpipesectionuntillances
securely engage hem on replace starter.
Wire will assure proper spacing between
innerandouterpipesections.
Note: For Canada, use chimney parts des-
ignated HT.
Opening in collar around
chimney at top of replace must
not be obstructed. Never use
blown insulation to ll chimney
enclosure.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as
outlined, making sure that both inner and
outerpipesectionsarelockedtogether.When
installingdoublewallsnap-lockchimneyto-
gether,itisimportanttoassurejointbetween
chimneysectionsislocked.Checkbypulling
chimneyupwardafter locking.Chimneywill
not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessarytoaddscrewstokeepchimneyto-
gether(exception-seeFigure11,page9).
USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM)
1. Toachievedesiredoffset,youmayinstall
combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and
48"lengthofdoublewallpipe(seeoffset
chart,page7,andFigure9).
Note: For systems with 2 elbow sets, mini-
mum height is 22 feet. Maximum height
for any system is 50 feet.
2. Chimney weight above offset rests on
return elbow. Straps must be securely
nailedtoraftersorjoists(seeFigure10,
detailsAandB,page9).
3. Maximumlengthofpipebetweensupports
(returnelbowor12S-8DM)is6'ofangle
run.Maximumoftwo6'anglerunsections
perchimneysystem(seeFigure9).
4. Allpipeconnectionsbetweenoffsetand

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof
When installing ashing on a metal roof, it
isrequiredthatputtytapebeusedbetween
ashingandroof.Flashingmustbesecured
toroofusing#8x3/4"screwsandthensealed
withroofcoatingtopreventleakagethrough
screwholes.Aroofcoatingmustalsobeap-
pliedaroundperimeterofashingtoprovide
aproperseal.
FIRESTOP SPACERS (3600FS-8DM-1)
Firestopspacersarerequiredateachpoint
where chimney penetrates a floor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
required clearance between chimney and
combustible materials. When pipe passes
throughaframedopeningintoalivingspace
above,restop mustbeplaced onto ceiling
frombelowasshowninFigure12.
Theyalsoprovidecompleteseparationfrom
oneoorspacetoanotheroratticspaceas
required by most codes. When double wall
pipepasses throughaframed opening into
anatticspace,restop mustbeplacedinto
anatticoorasshowninFigure13.

PENETRATING ROOF
Tomaintaina2"clearancetopipeonaroofwith
apitch,arectangularopeningmustbecut.
1. Determine center point where pipe will
penetratetheroof.
2. Determinecenterpointoftheroof.Pitch
isthedistancetheroofdropsoveragiven
span,usually12".A6/12pitchmeansthat
theroof drops 6"for each 12"measure
horizontallydownfromroofrafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 14) to
determine correct opening length and
ashingrequired.
Ifareaaboveisalivingspace,install
restopbelowframedhole.
Ifareaaboveisanatticorinsulatedarea,
installrestopaboveframedhole.
