  • Must meet minimum standards of NFPA 11.
  • Must  have  at  least  5/8  inch  (16mm)  fireclay  lining  joined 

with refractory cement.   (Installations into a clay flue without 
a  stainless  steel  liner  may  reduce  draw  which  affects

performance,  will  cause  the  glass  to  darken  and  produce 
excessive creosote).

 •

The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block, 

must be a minimum of  inches (10mm) nominal thickness.

 •

A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12 inches (305mm)

thick.

 • Cross-sectional  area  should  be  no  more  than  3  times  the

cross-sectional area of the flue collar of the insert.  (8 sq inch 

flue area x  inches = 8 square inches maximum chimney 
area).

  • Should be lined with a 6 inch (15mm) stainless steel flue liner 

to improve performance and reduce creosote build-up.

An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system or 
other approved material.

  • No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.

 

1.

Secure the fireplace damper in the open position.  If this 

cannot be accomplished, it will be necessary to remove
the damper

    . Seal damper area of chimney around chimney connector 

with a high temperature sealant or seal insert against the

face of the fireplace.

 

3. Both  methods  must  be  removable  and  replaceable  for

cleaning and re-installation.

 • When possible, install an airtight clean-out door to the rear of

the smoke shelf.

Chimney Connector:
It is also known as flue pipe or stove pipe.  It must be 
6  inches  (152mm)  minimum  diameter  stainless  steel
connector pipe.

:

The  chimney  can  be  new  or  existing,  masonry  or 
prefabricated  and  must  meet  the  following  minimum

requirements as specified below.

Existing chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by a

qualified professional prior to installation.  The chimney 

must not have cracks, loose mortar or other signs of dete-

rioration and blockage.  Hearth & Home recommends a 

NFI or CSIA certified professional or a technician, under 

the direction of a certified professional, conduct a Level II 

inspection per NFPA 11.

Fire Risk
Inspection of Chimney:
•

Chimney must be in good condition.

•  Meets minimum standard of NFPA 11
•  Factory-built chimney must be 6 inch 

(15mm) UL10 HT.

NOTICE:  Check  with  your  local  building  authorities 

and/or consult the National Fire Protection Association 

(NFPA 11).  

It  is  recommended  that  chimneys  with  larger  diameters

than  6  inches  (15mm)  be  relined.    An  oversized  flue 
can  affect  draft  and  impair  performance  and  will  allow
increased build-up of creosote.
