Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet (see figure 1). See Chart 2 for Chimney Height Above the Roof on page 16 of these instructions.
The SuperVent/SuperPro Ceiling Support will support up to 50 feet of chimney sections, all of which must be installed above the support. Figures 4 & 7 show the 2 most common types of Ceiling Support Installation. Frame (on all 4 sides) a level square opening to the dimensions specified in the Framing Dimension Table 1. FRAMING DETAILS: Plan your installation carefully. If possible, position the stove so that the flue outlet is between joists or rafters.
flue pipe following the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions and appropriate building code requirements keeping in mind that the flue pipe run should be as short and straight as practicable. Generally, for a wood burning appliance installation, an 18" minimum clearance to combustibles must be maintained for a single wall flue pipe. The exception to this is a double wall stove pipe, such as Selkirk's Model DSP which can be installed at reduced clearances of 6" to combustibles.
FIRESTOP JOIST SHIELD ELBOW INSTALLATION A Firestop Joist Shield (FRS) must be installed where the chimney passes from one living space to another living space, as shown in figure 8. It is designed to provide proper firestopping between floors and to keep direct radiation from the chimney away from the joist framing. One pair of (two) 15o or 30o Elbows may be used in an interior installation to provide an offset in order to avoid cutting of joists and to clear other obstructions.
After framing in your opening to the dimensions specified (see Framing Dimensions Table 1) on page 5, install the exterior outer half (with the unfinished square plate) of the wall thimble into the outside wall opening. Secure in place with appropriate fasteners through the prepunched holes. ADJUSTABLE WALL SUPPORT As previously mentioned, the ideal location for your chimney system is within the building envelope. A Wall Support installation is required when the above mentioned location is not possible.
If the chimney penetrates an eave or overhang (soffit) cut an opening with 2" clearance all around. To find the exact spot where the chimney will pass through the eaves, drop a plumb line from the underside of the eaves to the outer edge of the leveled chimney. Mark 5 or 6 points to give an outline of the hole. Remember that the hole will need 2" clearance to the chimney surface. Install an Attic Insulation Shield if space permits on the under side of the overhang.
Once the box is at the desired position, ensure the box is level and nail the box to the framing using four 2” spiral nails or #8 x1-1/2" wood screws per side. The excess material sticking above the roof can either be trimmed off before attaching the box to the framing or, after it is installed the corners can be cut and the excess material folded down onto the roof deck.
and the bottom edge OVER the shingles to provide a watershed. Trimming off the shingles may be neccessary around the cone of the Flashing for a better fit. Do not nail the flashing to the roof yet as adjustments may be required. Attach the support brackets to the support band with the 1/2” nuts, bolts and lock washers. The lock washer is placed between the band and support bracket to provide proper spacing as shown in Figure 16.
The two telescopic legs should form an angle of about 60 degrees to give support to the chimney in all directions. Keep bottom ends equal distance from the chimney and if possible, at the same elevation, on the high side of the sloped roof. Seal the roof with a suitable non-hardening waterproof caulking. After the legs are attached to the chimney and bands, tighten the clamps on the legs to fix the position of the telescoping legs. (See Figure 20).
UNIVERSAL ROOF GUY BAND (JURGK) ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Measure the outside diameter of your chimney. 2. Mark the hole at each end of the band that corresponds to the diameter measured. These 2 holes along with the "Common" hole will be utilized for your particular chimney. 12" 11" 10" 9" 8" 7" Common 7" 8" 9" 10" 11" 12" 3. On the "Common" hole assemble 1 carriage bolt, 1 5/16" lock washer, 1 bracket, 1 1/4" lock washer and 1 1/4" hex nut in place as shown.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF CHIMNEY: Contact a professional certified chimney sweep for chimney cleaning services and advice if you have any doubts about your ability to clean your chimney system or if the task is too large. To visually inspect the chimney, remove the Rain Cap by simply using the twist-lock feature. Care should be taken not to disengage any lower chimney sections. This will permit the insertion of a flashlight for inspection and a properly sized plastic chimney cleaning brush.
CHART 1 - OFFSET CHIMNEY INSTALLATION It may be necessary to offset the chimney in order to clear a joist or an obstacle. The three (3) charts below will assist you in selecting the proper combination of elbow angle and chimney length(s) that will provide the necessary degree of offset within an available height. 1. Select the column with the proper chimney diameter of your system. 15o OFFSET CHART Chimney Lengths 5" Diameter A B 6" Diameter A B 7" Diameter A B 8" Diameter A B 2.
CHART 2 - CHIMNEY HEIGHT ABOVE THE ROOF Requirement # 1 : The code requires that the chimney must extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof that it penetrates. Requirement # 2 : It must also be 2 feet above any roof, wall or other obstruction within a horizontal distance of 10 feet. The following Chart is to assist you in determining the minimum chimney height you will require above the roof.
