WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceil-
ing restops at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft
(3.05 m) to control spread of re.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between re
stop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter
the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use
600° F sealant).
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain a minimum
2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other
materials surrounding the chimney system.
• Insulation and other materials must be rmly secured to
prevent accidental contact with chimney system.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with replace or chimney.
• Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other
materials and chimney system may cause overheating
and re.

also must be installed before enclosure is complete.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must comply with all
minimum air space clearances to combustibles. DO NOT
pack required air spaces with insulation or other materi-
als.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-
ances specied.
• A minimum 1/2 in. (13 mm) air clearance must be
maintained at the back and 1 in. (25 mm) to the sides
of the replace assembly.
• Chimney sections at any level require a 2 in. (51 mm)
minimum air space clearance between the framing and
chimney section.

NOTICE:
If you live in an area with very cold winter months, you
will want to use room air as opposed to bringing in ex-
