Carefully inspect the chimney or exhaust vent 
system.
Make sure it is properly sized and in good work-
ing condition. 
Follow the instructions supplied by the appliance 
manufacturer.
The installation must strictly comply with all ap-
plicable codes, authorities having jurisdiction and 
the latest revision of the National Fire Protection 
Association Standard  NFPA 31 for the installa-
tion of chimneys and vent sizing, (or CSA-B139 
and CSA-B140 in Canada).
Regulation by these authorities take precedence 
over the general instructions provided in this in-
stallation manual.

WARNING
!
No other appliance connection should be made to 
the same fl ue pipe.
The fl ue pipe should have an upward pitch toward 
the chimney of at least 1/4” per foot of length. It 
should fi t tightly and should not project into the 
chimney.
Any leakage between tiles, around clean-out 
doors, or around the vent pipe should be sealed.
INSULATED STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINERS
  The new designs of high effi ciency oil furnaces 
and boilers in conjunction with fl ame retention oil 
burners are more effi cient. One result of increased 
effi ciency is lower fl ue gas temperatures. As 
fl ue gases rise in the chimney, they will cool and 
condense when they reach the dew point. The 
condensation will mix with the sulphur in the fl ue 
gases creating sulphuric acid. The acid will attack 
the chimney mortar, brick and clay liners caus-
ing corrosion, deterioration and blockage of the 
chimney. Eventually the blockage could prevent 
exhausting the fl ue gases. Instead, the fl ue gases 
could vent out the barometric damper into the liv-
ing space. 
  Therefore, it is strongly recommended that an ap-
proved insulated stainless steel liner be installed.
For those installations not requiring a chimney, 
such as through-the-wall vented appliances, fol-
low the instructions given by the appliance and 
power venter (if used) manufacturers.

Figure 2 – Chimney Design - Above the Roof
NOTE: Correct 
chimney design is 
shown by dotted 
lines. Incorrect 
chimney design, 
as shown by the 
solid lines, may 
result in down-
drafts.
Inspect/Prepare Installation Site
Starting with minimum gph fi ring rate, the mini-
mum size recommended is 6” fl ue pipe with 8” X 
8” inside chimney, unless specifi ed otherwise by 
the appliance manufacturer.
A chimney fl ue shall extend at least 3 feet above 
the highest point at which the chimney comes 
in contact with the roof, and not less than 2 feet 
above the highest roof surface or structure within 
10 feet horizontally of the chimney.  Refer to  Fig-
ure 2.
Any accumulation of soot or debris in chimney 
offsets should be removed
Any obstructions such as a protruding joint or a 
piece of broken tile wedged in the chimney should 
be removed.
