68 Solution 2.5-ZC Fireplace Installation and Operation Manual
Follow these steps:
1. Position the fireplace in its location.
Temporarily install the elbow or
chimney section (A) on the top of
the fireplace and, using a level,
mark with an oval the location
where the flue liner will enter the
masonry chimney.
2. In the middle of the oval, drill a
hole in the masonry chimney at 45
or 30.
3. Increase the size of the hole until a
45 or 30 insulated liner adapter
(B) can be easily slipped through.
4. Slide the liner (C) down from the
top of the masonry chimney until
you reach the hole level.
5. Slip through the hole a 45 or 30
insulated liner adapter and connect
it to the liner.
6. Seal the opening around the liner
with high temperature refractory
cement.
7. Then, follow the chimney
manufacturer’s instructions to
connect the extended liner section
to the special chimney connector.
Note: Make sure the liner exceeds at least 12” (30 cm) the top of masonry chimney.
8.10 Supply of Combustion Air
In Canada, wood fireplaces are not required to have a supply of combustion air from
outdoors because research has shown that these supplies do not give protection against
house depressurization and may fail to supply combustion air during windy weather.
However, to protect against the risk of smoke spillage due to house depressurization, a
carbon monoxide (CO) detector/alarm is required in the room in which the fireplace is
installed. The CO detector will provide warning if for any reason the wood fireplace fails to
function correctly.
