4. Fitting to A Masonry Chimney

Many fireplace openings have a supporting lintel. Do not

remove without supporting the remaining structure of the

building. Do not support the structure with the appliance

or the flue system.

Stovax recommend the use of a flue liner when

installing into a masonry chimney. Alternative methods

can be used if the chimney is sound and correctly sized,

however access may be required to make an effective

seal - ie Using a sump adapter.
