Cut and frame the hole. It is good practice to use fram-
ing lumber that is the same size as the rafters. Install
the frame securely because the chimney top and flash-
ing anchored to the frame must be able to withstand
heavy winds.
Install Remainder of Chimney Sections
Since you have already preplanned the height of your
termination according to the Ten Foot Rule, continue to
install pipe to the predetermined height.
Check the chimney top installation instructions for
details on how high above the roof top the chimney
sections (all pipes) should extend.
Installing Top Housing
or Termination
Follow the installation instructions provided with the
chimney termination you have selected.
Installing Chimney In a Chase
Refer to Page 4, Figure 3 for an illustration of a typical
chase installation.
CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and con-
struction of chase may vary with type of building.
These instructions are not a substitute for local building
codes. You must check your local building codes to
determine specific requirements for your city or state.
NOTE: Other building materials may be required in ad-
dition to CFM Corporation Firestop Spacers.
Finishing
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with
non-combustible material to prevent cold air leakage
into the room. Only noncombustible material may be
applied to the facing of the fireplace surround. (Black
painted area) (Fig. 19)
Finish Wall
Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not
install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12"
(305 mm) from the top of the fireplace opening. Do
not install a mantel face plate less than 6" (159 mm)
from top of fireplace opening. (Fig. 21) If a combus-
tible material is used below a flat mantel shelf, consult
your local building codes for minimum clearance from
top of fireplace opening to bottom of mantel shelf.
All joints (top, bottom and sides) where wall or deco-
rative facing material meets fireplace surround must
be completely sealed with a noncombustible material.
