In a Masonry Fireplace — The Masonry Fireplace must be built according to the requirements of the Standards of Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning appliances, N.F.P.A. 211 and any National, State or Local codes that apply. 2. In a Zero Clearance Fireplace — The Factory built Zero - Clearance Fireplace and its Chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610 standards. WARNING: The Insert must not be installed in a sleeping room. York Installations Manual Page 3 VENTING: DETERMINING MATERIALS TYPE OF MATERIALS: 1. Single wall stainless steel may be used inside a fireplace or fireplace chimney. (No clearances to combustibles are needed on single wall stainless steel adaptors, rigid or flex pipe installed within a fireplace or inside a chimney.) PL Vent may also be used if there are no offsets in the installation. 2. A clean out "tee" (PL Vent or "Quick- Connect Exhaust ") must be installed directly to the stove and at the bottom of each vertical run of the exhaust system. These tees are to assist in periodically cleaning the pipe. Single or double clean -out tees may be used. The exhaust system must be installed so the entire system can be cleaned without disassembly. 3. All Joints in the venting installation must be fastened together using three screws. All joints of the venting system must be sealed with High Temp Silicone to make a gas tight fit. NOTE: ADHERE TO THE PL VENT CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REQUIRED. STRICTLY OBSERVE THE PL VENT MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS. (QUANTITY OF MATERIALS: 1. It is recommended that the vent system of the existing Masonry or Zero - Clearance fireplace be fully relined using 4" stainless steel flex (See Figure 9 on Page 12). A positive connection to the existing chimney system may also be used, by blocking off the opening to the chimney with metal plate and connecting the flex directly to the positive connect plate (See Figure 10 on Page 13). 2. A unit installed in a Masonry fireplace may also be vented horizontally using 3" PL vent (See Figure 11 on page 14). FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE NATURAL DRAFT THAT RESULTS FROM A VERTICAL RISE MAY RESULT IN SMOKE BEING RELEASED INTO THE HOUSE WHEN ELECTRICITY TO THE UNIT IS INTERRUPTED WHILE BURNING OR SMOLDERING PELLETS REMAINS IN THE BURN GRATE. 2. Additional vertical exhaust venting may be needed when using: a. More than one (1) elbow or tee; and/or b. Horizontal runs of over three (3) feet. 3. For a venting system ending in a horizontal run, the exhaust pipe must be terminated by a listed end cap or a PL vent elbow (45 or 90 degrees). Note: End caps or elbows must vent exhaust gases away from the building. 4. For termination above the building roofline a rain cap is required. 5. The exhaust pipe on all stoves is 2.95" O.D. to accommodate a 3" stove pipe adaptor. Your installation may require the use of 4" vent. (3" to 4" adapters are available for both PL Vent and Single Wall Vent.)

This lining systems is designed and listed to be installed with in masonry chimneys used to vent the products of combustion produced by heating appliances that burn oil, gas, or solid fuels. This liner should be installed by a nationally certified chimney sweep or other qualified chimney professional. Each installation must be planned for the best performance of the appliance being installed. Refer to appliance manufacturer's instructions to determine any special venting requirements for specific appliance. The installer must contact the local building and fire code officials to determine any installation and inspection requirements. Building permits may be required before installation. M -Flex CB and AL liner must be installed with in the local building codes. Please remember, regardless of national codes, the local building inspectors have ultimate jurisdiction. Do not use any materials or components other than specified in these installation instructions.

INSPECTION AND PREPARATION OF CHIMNEY The existing chimney must meet the following codes for proper construction and compliance requirements before the liner can be installed: �= The chimney must be a minimum of ten feet high, and a maximum of one hundred feet in height. The chimney must have the proper wall thickness, ie: minimum of 4 inches (nominal) solid masonry units. * The chimney must extend at least three feet above the highest point where it penetrates the roof structure, and at least two feet higher than any portion of the building or adjoining structures with in ten feet. If the chimney is constructed inside the structure a minimum of two inches of unobstructed air space must surround the chimney to any combustible material. If the chimney is constructed on the outside of the structure, one inch of unobstructed air space must be maintained between the chimney and all other combustible materials. When the chimney passes through an floor, ceiling, or other horizontal or vertical structure, fire stops of a non - combustible material must be used. * *IF THE, PROPER CLEARANCES LISTED ABOVE CANNOT BE DETERMINED THE LINER MUST BE INSTALLED WITH A UL LISTED CHIMNEY INSULATION ** * Do not connect any appliance that burns a liquid fuel to a chimney liner used to vent a solid fuel burning appliance. The connector pipe used to connect the appliance to the chimney liner must meet proper clearances to combustibles as determined by the appliance manufacturer'S installation instructions, the national building code, or the local building code, which ever is in force. Before the liner is installed the chimney must be cleaned thoroughly to remove all deposits of soot, creosote, or glazed creosote. A proper inspection must be done to determine that the chimney is structurally sound. If the structural integrity of the chimney is found to be in question, ie: missing, loose, or cracked masonry or mortar joints, repairs must be made before installation of the chimney liner. 2.) SIZING THE PROPER LINER DIAMETER For solid fuel burning appliances the cross sectional area of the liner shall not be less than the cross sectional area of the appliance outlet collar. The cross sectional area of the flue shall not be more than three times the cross sectional area of the appliance outlet collar. For solid fuel burning fireplaces the liner should be at least one -tenth the square inches of the square inches of the fireplace opening. Please note that this formula can vary based on height of the chimney and other determining factors. Call National Chimney Supply, Inc. should you have any questions. For liner sizing of gas and oil burning appliances please refer to N.F RA 54 for gas and N.F.P.A31 for oil. Also refer to appliance manufacturer's instructions. Incorrectly sized liners for these appliances can lead to performance problems and condensation with in the lining system. Please call National Chimney Supply, Inc. should you have any questions. 3.) DETERMINE IF THE CORRECT SIZE LINER WILL FIT INTO THE CHIMNEY The M -Flex Stainless Steel Chimney Liner can be installed with in the existing flue tile or the flue tile can be removed. It is extremely important that the correct size liner will fit into the chimney. Certain factors, such as chimney construction and offsets in the chimney, may change the size of the interior of the chimney. It is best to prove the interior of the chimney before trying to install the chimney liner. This can be done by lowering a short piece of the intended size liner down the chimney to see if it will pass all the way to the bottom. You can also use a liner guide cone to accomplish this. If the chimney liner will need to be insulated this will effect the required dimensions needed to install the liner. If the round configurations needed to vent the appliance will not fit the liner may be formed to an oval configuration to fit, however ovalizing the liner will change the cross sectional area. Please call National Chimney Supply, Inc. with any questions. 4.) INSTALLING M -FLEX STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER * Make sure the thimbles to be used in the installation are in the proper chimney to maintain the required clearance to combustibles for the connector pipe from the appliance. If the clearances are not correct reconstruct the thimble to the proper position. " Detern the length of the liner by measuring from the bottom most thimble to the top of the chimney. To this measurement add approx. Six inches to accommodate the crown and top hardware. Cut liner to length. * Remove the snout from the two part tee and attach the tee body to liner with either stainless steel pop rivets, or stainless steel screws. If the liner is going to be insulated with a ceramic wool blanket, install the blanket now. If a tee Cap is going to be ...... r:lr'>,rirnr;r.�: I'rr�rrr ill, for r?widentialhratinir appliances. used attach it to the body now. rleannc� 5YMem (Lt.'Vlrnr�r} Take the tee snout that was removed from Nnmur,cnmrwi Cn,v.�r.:n,a hrti. .

INSTALLING M -FLEX STAINLESS STEEL LINER FOR A FIREPLACE * When installing a liner for a fireplace application no tee is used on the bottom of the liner. Instead a base plate is used to seal the liner at the top of the smoke chamber. The base plate can be installed by working up through the damper opening or by removing bricks in the face of the fireplace at the level of the top of the smoke chamber. * Installing the base plate from the damper opening is accomplished by sliding the liner down into the smoke chamber from the top of the chimney. Put the base plate up through the damper opening and around the bottom of the liner. Secure the base plate to the liner with stainless steel rivets, stainless steel screws, or a support clamp below the base plate. Once base plate is secured pull liner up and seat base plate on top of smoke chamber. At this point hold liner in place by pushing 2x4 tee up through damper and across bottom of liner. Install top hardware at top of chimney as described in previous section. To install the base plate through the face of the fireplace will require more work and masonry skill. Start by removing two to four bricks in either the face or the -back of the fireplace at the level of the top of the smoke chamber. If the smoke chamber is constructed correctly there should be approx. eight inches of masonry to go through. Once this opening has been accomplished slide the base plate into the hole over the top of smoke chamber. Slide the liner down from the top of the chimney and through the hole in the base plate. Secure with stainless steel rivets, stainless steel screws, or place a support clamp on the liner above the base plate. This will keep the liner from sliding down through the base plate until the top hardware has been installed. Once this is complete install top hardware as described in previous section. Seal hole in masonry with like material. 6.) INSULATING M -FLEX STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER A note about insulating stainless steel chimney liners: Not all situations require insulation of the chimney liner. The UL1777 Standard for installing stainless steel chimney liners require insulation because the non -code conforming chimney has zero clearance to combustibles or some other defect. Thus the UL,1777 Standard is in place for fire protection. The definition of a code Conforming chimney is one that meets or exceeds N.F.P.A.21.1 for construction of chimneys, ie: proper clearances to combustibles, intact 5/8 fireclay flue liner or equivalent, minimum four inch (nominal) solid chimney wall. If the chimney meets the requirement for code conforming the only reason to reline would be for appliance perfor- mance. In case of relining for high efficiency gas or oil fired appliances (over 83 %) no insulation may be required. However regardless of existing chimney, insulating the chimney liner will improve the performance of the appliance that is connected to it. Because the insulated liner will stay warmer the flue will not cool as quickly and will not condense as rapidly. In wood burning appliances this will reduce the amount of creosote that will form in the liner. In oil and gas burning applications the likelihood of condensation, especially on start up of the appliance will greatly reduce. While fire protection is the main concern, insulating liners even if not required will pay dividends by increasing performance and efficiency. Please Note: For the installed liner system to meet UL standards, all UL listed components used must be installed with proper clearances. THERE ARE TWO METHODS OF INSULATING M -FLEX STAINLESS STEEL LINERS Method #1 - Insulating with Premier Mix * Premier Mix is poured into the chimney around the liner after the liner is installed. Premier Mix is premixed and water is added to the rm at the job site. To determine the amount of Premier Mix needed to insulate a specific liner please call National Chimney Supply, Inc.. No minimum thickness of Premier Mix around a liner installed in a code - conforming chimney is required. The required clearance between the liner and the interior of the masonry chimney is 1" inches. In a non -code conforming chimney, ie: zero clearance to combustibles, no flue liner, etc. the minimum recommended thickness of Premier Mix is One inch. The required clearance between the insulation and the interior wall of the masonry chimney is 0" inches. Premier Mix is mixed with two to three gallons of water in a mortar pan or wheelbarrow. When mixed correctly the Premier Mix will have a grainy consistency and little or no water will come out when squeezed in your hand. Once mixed the Premier Mix is poured into the chimney around the liner. The liner should be vibrated during the pouring process to help the Premier Mix settle around the liner. Continue to pour Premier Mix until the chimney is full to the top. Install top hardware as described in previous section. A Premier Mix insulated M -Flex liner can be used after the installation is complete. Curing of the mix will occur over approximately 28 days, with approximately 70% of the curing process occurring in the first week. Drying time of the Premier Mix will depend on the thickness of the mix and the absorption of the masonry chimney. Drying time will be accelerated by using the heating appliance. Method #2 - Insulating with Premier Wrap Premier Wrap is installed around the liner before it is installed in the chimney. Premier Wrap is one half inch thick and one quarter inch thick, eight pound density, ceramic wool blanket with a three mil aluminum foil face. Aluminum tape, retractable wire mesh, and mesh clamps will be needed to complete the installation. Premier Wrap is available in four widths, 24" to fit liners 4" to 6" diameters, 30" to fit 7" to 8" diameters, 36" to fit 9" to 10" diameters, and 48" to fit 11" to 14" diameters. =� In a code - conforming chimney no Premier Wrap insulation is required. In a code - conforming chimney that must have the tiles removed a single one quarter inch Premier Wrap is required. In a non -code conforming chimney a single one -half inch Premier Wrap is required. The required clearance between the insulation and the interior of the masonry chimney is 0" inches. " To install Premier Wrap onto the liner, lay the blanket open with the foil side down. Cut blanket length wise so that it will overlap approx. one inch. Place liner on blanket and wrap around liner. Run foil tape the complete length of the seam on the blanket, next cut pieces of foil tape approx. eight inches long, and tape across seam about every foot. Next place liner into retractable mesh sock. Using mesh clamp, clamp at end of liner just above tee body. Pull retractable mesh sock to top of liner, continue to pull until mesh sock has retracted tightly around the liner, clamp mesh at top and cut off excess mesh. Install liner as described in previous section. 7.) INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Should you have any questions concerning inspection and maintenance of the M -Flex liner Please contact: National Chimney Supply, Inc. Corporate Headquarters 280 Commerce St. Williston, VT 05495 (800) 897 -8481 Inspection of the M -Flex liner should be done at minimum, once per year, at no more than 12 month intervals from date of installation. If the liner is used to vent a solid fuel burning appliance inspections should be done at intervals of every 2 months during the heating season. Upon inspection, if soot or creosote accumulations have reached a 1 /4" or more the liner should be cleaned. This inspection and cleaning should be carried out by a nationally certified chimney sweep, or other qualified chimney professionals. CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The cre vapors may condense on the inside of the chimney liner during slow - burning firing periods. As a result, creosote residue accumulates o chimney liner. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. To properly inspect the liner system it is necessary to gain access to the top and/or bottom of the chimney. To inspect the liner from the be remove the connector pipe from the appliance and the chimney. Using a flash light and a rn4ror look in and up the liner to visually inspe( soot and creosote formation. Note: if the chimney has offsets you may not be able to see all the way to the top or to the bottom dependin your inspection location. In this case it will be necessary to inspect the liner from both the bottom and the top of the chimney. After inspection, if cleaning is required, use a plastic bristle brush the same size as the interior of the liner. Either push the brush up fron bottom or down from the top using the appropriate number of extension pole for the height of the chimney. When cleaning from the to remove the liner cap before inserting brush in the top of the liner. S.) OPERATION "= For M -Flex liners, insulated with Premier Mix, used to vent a solid fuel burning appliance please note: Solid fuel burning stoves can be used immediately after the installation is complete. However the flue gas temperatures entering the In Should not exceed 500 degrees E for a period of three weeks. A connector pipe flue gas thermometer will help monitor this procedure. Fireplaces can also be used immediately after the installation is completed. A small to moderate fire should be maintained for a period of appre mately three hours. After this time a normal fire can be established. It is important that the operator not over fire the appliance during these initial periods.
