It is important to assure that the joint between the chimney sections
is fully locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking.
The chimney should not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessary to add screws to keep vertical or angled chimney runs
together.
WARNING: THE OPENINGS AROUND THE START-
ING COLLAR ON TOP OF THE FIREBOX MUST NEVER
BE OBSTRUCTED. NEVER USE BLOWN INSULA-
TION TO FILL THE CHIMNEY ENCLOSURE.
FIREBOX SPACER
Firebox spacers are required at each point where the chimney
penetrates a floor or ceiling, joist space. Their purpose is two fold;
they establish and maintain the required clearance between the outer
pipe and combustible materials, and they also serve as a shield
between floors as required by most codes.
When the pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space
above, a firestop must be placed on the ceiling below (Figure 16).

SUPPORT SECTIONS
The chimney support section is a 4 strap, 12-inch length of pipe. A
chimney support is required every 30 feet above the firebox after
a straight chimney run, or above a return elbow after a straight
chimney run (Figure 18).
This support is designed to relieve the extra weight load on the
firebox and elbows when high chimneys are installed.
