CHIMNEY INSTALLATION

1. Assemble the first chimney section with the anchor plate (provided by the chimney manufacturer) using

three ¾” (19 mm) screws.

2. Screw this assembly to the fireplace using four ¾” (19 mm) screws.

3. Continue the installation following the instructions in the chimney manufacturer’s manual. (Figures #6

through #11).

4. To avoid overheating the walls of the enclosure, keep the combustible materials wall flush to the front of he

fireplace. The side walls of the enclosure must not angle over the appliance and should be parallel to its

sides, rising straight up to the ceiling. Never fill the enclosure space with insulation or any combustible

material.

5. The chimney must rise at least 3’ (914 mm) over its juncture with the roof and exceed by at least 2’

(610 mm) any wall, roof or building located within a radius of 10’ (3 m). Any length of chimney exceeding

the roof by 5’ (1.5 m) or more, must be braced using tie rods or guy wires. (Figure #7)

6. To limit creosote buildup, it is strongly recommended that an empty enclosure space be left between the

chimney stack and the outer framing of the chimney. Make sure that at all times a minimum clearance of 2”

(51 mm) separates the chimney and any combustible materials.

NOTE: Since May 1997, whatever the type of fireplace or building, safety standards require that the fireplace

and the full length of an interior chimney up to the ceiling be enclosed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR MASONRY APPLICATION

The following requirements must be respected:

1. The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote. Check for cracks, loose or missing

bricks that could inhibit correct installation of the liner.

2. The clearance to combustible must be a minimum of 1” between the outside of the masonry and any wood

framing or loose insulation.

3. The chimney must be built in accordance with the current building code.

4. No other appliance can be connected to the same chimney.

5. The clearances to combustible for the BISPMA and BISUPA30 connectors are 2” on the side and bottom

and 16” at the top.

6. The connector parts are not necessary if the connection between the insulated length and the stainless steel

liner is done within the masonry chimney.
