Installation
13
Empty a TherMix
bag into a mortar trough
or wheelbarrow. Add 7 to 9 gallons of water
and mix with a hoe. Proper consistency is
achieved when the material feels damp but is
still granular. Little or no water should appear
between ngers when a handful of TherMix
is
squeezed. Correctly prepared TherMix
pours
like “loose ll” into the void between the liner
and the chimney.
During the pouring process, distribute the
insulation evenly into the available space.
Spacers may be used every 5 ft. to center
the liner. Vibrate the liner by rmly tapping it.
Continue to pour TherMix
until the chimney
is lled to the top and nish as described
previously. Inspect the liner at this time to
ensure that no TherMix
has fallen inside the
venting system.
All heaters or replaces can be red up right
after the installation is complete. Keep ue
gas temperatures below 700 degrees F for
three weeks. This allows for TherMix
to dry
gradually. The operator is responsible for
making sure that the heater is not over red
during this initial period.
Ceramic blankets are attached to
BEFORE the liner is installed
into the chimney. Blankets are 1/2" in. thick,
8 pounds density, and faced with a 2 mil.
aluminum foil. The 1/2" thick blanket is the
minimum amount of insulation needed when
using ProFoil. If using 1/4" ProFoil blankets,
two wraps are necessary to achieve the
required 1/2" insulation. Aluminum tape, wire
mesh and clamps are needed for proper
installation.
• No Health Risks: Non-brous, non-toxic,
inert and manufactured under stringent quality
controls. Safe to the installer and homeowner,
today and into the future.
• Adds Safety: Chimneys insulated by TherMix
reduce creosote build-up, the chance of a
chimney re is minimized and its dangers are
decreased.
