CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
1. If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better performance. In areas with continuous
temperatures below 18 C (0 F), the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating
problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up characteristics. Exterior chimneys are
also prone to down-drafting and flow reversal. Installations, which are located on lower floors in the house,
such as in a basement, in combination with outside chimney, are especially prone to flow reversal.
2. The FP1 MANOIR is listed only with chimney systems described in table 1.
3. A chimney venting a fireplace shall not vent any other appliance.
4. All chimney installations must include at least one support. Reducing the amount of chimney weight on the
fireplace will help avoid the noise created when the fireplace expands. This can be achieved by having the
chimney supported by the supports. The maximum chimney length that should be supported by the fireplace
is 9 ft. (2.75 m) for 2" Solid Pack Chimney and 12 ft. (3.7 m) for 1" Solid Pack Chimney.
5. The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least 2 ft. (61
cm) higher than any wall, roof or building within 10 ft. (3.1 m) of it. See Figure A and B to determine the
configuration that applies to your roof (flat or sloped roof and the distance between the chimney and the
highest point of the roof and/or the nearest chimney).
6. Deviations should be avoided whenever possible, especially the most pronounced. Each deviation adds
some restriction to the chimney system and may lead to draft problems.
7. If the chimney extends higher than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above its point of contact with the roof, it must be secured
using a roof brace.
8. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install a rain cap may cause corrosion
problems.
9. Cut and frame square holes in all floors, ceilings, and roof that the chimney will go through to provide a 2"
(50 mm) minimum clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not fill this 2 space
with insulation or any other combustible material.
10. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces must be enclosed to avoid contact with
combustible materials or damage the chimney.
11. 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 points a minimum clearance of 2”
(51 mm) separates the chimney and any combustible materials.
12. Assemble the first chimney section with the adaptor (provided by the chimney manufacturer) using three ¾”
(19 mm) screws.
13. Screw this assembly to the fireplace using four ¾” (19 mm) screws, taking care not to block the rotation of
the flue damper key.
14. Continue the installation as per the instructions in the chimney manufacturer’s manual (Figures #7, 8, 9, 10).
