CEILING SUPPORT (10”)

The Model TLC ceiling supports are intended for

installation below both finished and unfinished ceilings.

The square firestop plate fits up against a ceiling, or

a joist opening framed level on all four sides. It is

adaptable to all types of chimney-connected appliances.

To start a vertical ceiling-supported chimney, simply

place a length of Model TLC pipe, at least 18 inches

long, in this support. See Figure 1.

Follow these steps to install.

1. Frame a level square opening (all four sides), such

that the inside dimensions are 6¼” larger than the

diameter (ID) of pipe being installed.

Note: The support must be underneath either the

framed opening or the finished ceiling.

DO NOT INSTALL SUPPORT ABOVE THE

FRAMING. See Figure 2.

2. Install finish ceiling material. Cut a circular opening

the same diameter as the framing dimension

(or square) through the ceiling inside the framed

opening, making it large enough to accept the

support. (With an existing ceiling, the opening

should be framed after cutting the hole.)

3. Place the support assembly up against the ceiling

opening from below.

4. Put one 8 penny common nail part way into each of

the four nailing areas of the assembly and check that

the plate is level and flush to the ceiling.

5. Finish nailing with 8 penny nails through all

prepunched holes.

6. Attach trim plate to ceiling or to framing at corners.

ATTACH CONNECTORS SECURELY AND OBSERVE

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.

The connector or smoke pipe is the sheet metal pipe

between the appliance and the chimney. Different

types of fuels and appliances have different connector

clearances to combustible walls and ceilings. These

clearances will be shown in the appliance instructions.

Model TLC Covering - Ceiling Support & Connections Whatever clearances and connector arrangements are shown in the appliance instructions must be followed, rather than the arbitrary 18-inch dimension. This is important if tests have shown that more than 18 inches clearance is necessary, or if the location of the stove or heater necessitates more clearance. See Figure 3.
