If your fireplace height is at least 635 mm (25”), you 
may install an Intrepid Multi-fuel with standard legs 
through the fireplace opening using a 90° Tee kit avail-
able from your local dealer. This positive connection kit 
ensures a tight fit between the stove flue collar and the 
chimney flue. (Fig. 6) 
Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue 
above or through the fireplace opening, have special 
clearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel.  
You will find the required clearances for the Intrepid 
Multi-fuel fireplace installations on Page 12.  
Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace 
installations. Floor protection information is on Page 8.  

face of the flue liner, and cemented securely in place.  
Additional pieces of connector are then attached with 
sheet metal screws.  

The Intrepid Multi-fuel may be connected to a chimney 
above a fireplace opening also.  In such installations, 
the stove is positioned on the hearth in front of the fire-
place and the chimney connector rises from the stove 
top and then angles 45° back into the chimney. (Fig. 5)

The chimney liner should extend to the point at which 
the chimney connector enters the chimney.  
If the chimney connector from your installation enters 
the chimney above a fireplace, follow all the guidelines 
mentioned above for freestanding installations.  In addi-
tion, give special consideration to the following points:
•  Check the clearance between the stove and the 
chimney connector, and any combustible trim or the 
mantel.  Use the necessary combination of mantel, 
trim, and connector heat shields to achieve the required 
clearances.
•  Check the clearance between the chimney con-
nector and the ceiling.  If no heat shields are used, the 
clearance should be at least 660 mm (26”).  To find out 
how much this clearance may be reduced with heat 
shields, see the clearance chart on Page 12.
•  The fireplace damper must be sealed to prevent 
room air from escaping up the flue.  However, it must 
be possible to reopen the damper to inspect or clean 
the chimney.

Whenever possible, design your installation so that the 
connector does not pass through a combustible wall.  If 
you are considering a wall pass-through in your instal-
lation, check with your building inspector before you 
begin.  Also, check with the chimney connector manu-
facturer for any specific requirements.
Accessories are available for use as wall pass-
throughs. If using one of these, make sure it has been 
tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.
