The chimney must project at least 3-ft over the paint of roof penetration,and at least 2-ft higher than any point of any structure within a 10-ft radius. If the mass of the chimney is constructed within the structure a 2-in minimum,unobstructed air space,must surround the chimney mass to any combustible material.If the chimney is constructed on the outside of the structure, 1-fin of unobstructed airspace must be maintained between the chimney mass and all other combustible materials. When the chimney breaks the plane of a floor,ceiling,or other horizontal or vertical structure,Fire stops of a noncombustible material must be used. The installer must verify,the above wth all local 8 national codes as required. If the correct clearances cannot be verified due to regional factors the liner must be installed with a UL listed insulation material.

Consult an authodry having ludsdinton. For Inspection and leaning purposes,wall penetrations shall not be installed deadly behind the heating appliance. 5.)INSTALLING BEST-FLEX STAINLESS STEEL LINER FOR A FIREPLACE No Tee Is used on the bottom of the liner when installing a liner for a fireplace application.The Tee is substituted with a Bottom Plate which Is used to seal the liner at the top of the fireplace smoke chamber.The Bottom Plate can be installed by reaching up through the damper opening or by dismantling the face of the fireplace near the tap of the smoke chamber • mets IlMg Bottom Plate through Damper. Altach the Bottom Plate to the finer with stain Islas steel week,dean Was steel screws,or a Speech Clamp below the Bottom Plate.Once the Bottom Plate is secured to the liner,pull the liner up and place the Bottom Plate on top of the smoke chamber. Hold the liner in place with a temporary support(2x4 a).Install top hardware by placing the Top Plate around the liner and center Mem both on top of the chimney,secure Mem to the chimney top with masonry screws,silicone or mortar.Attach the Support Clamp around liner and secure.Push the support clamp tight onto the Tap Plate.Place Me Storm Collar around liner and push dawn tight to the Support Clamp and secure.Place a bead of silicone around the top of the Storm Collar to seal.Install the Rain Cap on top of the liner and secure. • Installing Bottom Plate through Face of fireplace. This solution will require more work and masonry skills to rebuild the fireplace.Remove 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 built torridly there should be approximately eight inches of masonry to go through.Once this opening has been created slide the Bottom Plate into the hole over the top of the smoke chamber.Lower the liner down frem the top of the chimney and through the hole in the Bottom Plate.Secure the Bottom Plate to the Liner With chinless steal rivets,ctalidow steel cclewe,or place a Support Clamp on Me it.,shove Me Bottom Plate.This will prevent Me link,ham slipping down through the Bottom Plate until the top hardware has been installed.Install tap hardware by placing the Top Plate around the liner and center them both on top of the chimney,secure them to the chimney top with masonry screws,silicone or mortar.Attach the Support Clamp around liner and secure.Push the support clamp tight onto the Top Plate.Place Me Storm Collar around liner and push down tight to the Support Clamp and score.Place a bead of silicone around the top of Me Storm Collar to seal.Install the Rain Cap on top of the liner and secure.Seal hole in masonry smoke chamber With lake material. 6.)INSULATING BEST-FLEX STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER Not all situations require the insulation of the chimney liner.The UL 1777 8 ULC 5635 Standard for installing stainless steel chimney liners requires insulation because Me non code conforming chimney has zero clearance to combustibles or some other aided.Therefore the UL 1777 8 ULC 5635 Standard is in place for fire protection,In the United States the definition of a code conforming chimney is one that meats Or exceeds the N.F.P.A.211 standard for construction of chimneys.This standard includes;proper clearances to combustibles,intact 519 fireclay flue liner or equivalent,minimum four inch(nominal)solid chimney with. ll chimney meets all Me requirements for a code conforming structure Me only reason to reline it would be for proper sizing and appliance performance. In the case of relining gas or oil fired appliances no insulation is required(recommended for high efficiency).Regardless of existing chimney conformance, insulating the chimney liner will improve the performance of the appliance that is connected to it The insulated liner will stay warmer and the flue will not cool as quickly which means less condensation.In wood burning appliances this will reduce the amount W creosote Mat will form In Me liner.In oil and gas burning applications the likelihood of condensation will be greatly reduced(especially on startup).While fire protection is Me main reason for insulating,insulating a liner (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 OPTIONS FOR INSULATING BEST.FLEX STAINLESS STEEL LINERS Option N1 -Insulating with BEST-Wrap BEST-Wrap needs to be installed around the liner before the liner Is installed into the chimney. BEST-Wrap is one hall Inch(112')thick,eight pound density,ceramic wool blanket with a three mil aluminum foil face.Aluminum tape,retractable We mesh,and mesh clamps will be needed to complete Me installation.BEST-Wrap is available in four widths,24"to fit liners 4'to 6'diameters,30'to fit 6.5'to 8-diameters.31 fit 9'to 10'diameters,and 48'to fit 11-to 14'diameters. In a code-conforming chimney no BEST-Wrap insulation is requiretl.The required operates between the liner and the interior wall of the masonry chimney is 1 inch.In a code-mnfonning chimney that must have the tiles removed a single one quarter inch BEST-Wrap is required.The required clearance between the insulation and Me interior of the masonry chimney is 0'inches. To install BEST-Wrap around the liner,open the blanket on a flat surface with the foil side down.Than the blanket length wise so that it will overlap approximately one inch(1')When wrapped around Me liner.Place the liner on the blanket and wrap around the liner.Apply Me fail tape to the entire length of the seam on the blanket.Out pieces of Toll tape approximately eight inches(8')long,and tape across the seam every foot(17).Place the liner into the retractable mesh seek.Using the mesh clamp,clamp the end of the liner just above the Tee Body.Expand the retractable mesh sock to the top of Me liner,continue to pull until mesh sod has humaded tightly around the liner,clamp mesh at the top and cut orf the excess mash.Install the liner as described in Me previous section Option 82-Insulating with Theodore Thermix Is poured into Me chimney around the liner after the liner is installed.Thermix Is premixed and water is just added to the mix at the time of 06 lJ WL—JPhone:888-900-81 Fax.888-392-443232 Web:www.NewEnglandChimneySupply.com 34 Commerce Street,Williston VT 05495 installation.To calculate the amount of Thermix needed to insulate around a liner please call New England Supply Inc.of go to the website. No minimum Mickneea of Thermix amunss a liner Installed in a code-conforming chimney le required.The awfulness clearance between the liner and the interior of the masonry chimney is X inches.In a non-code conforming chimney with zero clearance to combustibles,no flue liner,the minimum recommended thickness of BEST-Mix is One(1)inch.The required dearance between the insulation and the interior wall of the masonry chimney is Zero(0)inches.The minimum clearance to combustible from the exterior of the chimney Is Zero(P)Inches.Thermix is mixed with four to six gallons of water in a molar pan or wheelbarrow.When mixed wrathy the Thermix will have a sandy consistency with little or no water seepage when squeezed in your hand.Once mixed the Thermix is poured into the chimney around the liner.The liner should be vibrated during the pouring process to help Me BEST-Mix smile around the liner,Thermix should be filled into the cavity road the chimney is full to the of.Install the top hardware as described in previous section. A Thermix insulated BEST-Flex liner can be used immediately after the installation is complete.Curing of the Thermix will occur over an approximately 28 day period.Approximately 70%of Me curing process occurring in the first weak.Drying home of the BEST-Mis wit vary on the thickness of the mix and the absorption of moisture into the masonry chimney.Drying time will be accelerated by using the heating appliance. 7.)NOTICES For Canadian installations,the Installer must post a notice at the lundlon between the liner system&the appliance.Notice shall state Me limitations of the liner system in regards to fuel types,types of acceptable appliances,and a reminder to cheek fire Rain Cap for icing during low ambient temperatures. Notice shall also include date of installation.manufacturers name-New Engand Supply Incl,and the class of lining system"CLASS 3". 8.)OPERATION BEST-Flex liners(insulated with Thermix)used to vent a solid fuel burning appliance please be aware that:Solid fuel burning stoves can be used immediately after the installation Is complete.However the flue gas temperatures entering the line,should not exceed 500 degrees F.for a period of three weeks.A connector pipe flue gas thermometer will help monitor this temperature. Fireplaces can also be used immediately after the Installation is completed.A small to moderate sized fire should be maintained for approximately three hours.After Mis time a normal fire can be established. It Is Important Nat the operator not over Ore the appliance during Mese initial per oda. 9.)INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS If you have any questions concaming inspection and maintenance of the BEST-Flex liner please contact New England Supply Inc. 34 Commerce St. Williston,VT 05495 (888)900.8108 • Inspection of the BEST-Flex liner should be done at minimum once per year by a chimney professional.Inspections longer than a 1 month time period from the date W installation should not occur.If the liner is used to vent a solid fuel burning appliance inspectors should be done at lana periods of every 2 months during the heating season.If soot or creosote accumulations have been found during inspedion and have reached a 1/4" or more Me liner should be cleaned.This inspedmn and cleaning should be owned out by a nationally cedified chimney sweep,or other qualified chimney professionals. Failure to Inspect and maintain the chimney system can result in poor performance,creosote build-up,moisture Issues, chimney fires,dangerous gas leakage into living spaces,and other undesirentae sRustlons. 10.)CREOSOTE FORMATION AND THE NEED FOR REMOVAL As woad bums slowly it produces bar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to forth creosote.The creosote vapors may condense an the Inside of Me chimney liner during dowbuming firing periods.This can result In creosote residue accumulating on Me chimney liner. When ignited,this creosote can make an incredibly hot fire up to 2100deg. It is necessary to get access to the top and/or bottom of Me chimney to properly inspect the liner To inspect the liner from me bottom remove the connector pipe from the appliance and the chimney.Use a flash light and minor to looks into liner upwards to visually inspect for soot and creosote deposits.If the chimney has offsets you may not be able to see all the through Me chimney.In this was it will be necessary to inspect me liner from both ends. If cleaning is required after inspedton,it is recommended to use a plastic bristle brush with the same size diameter as the Interior of the liner.Push the brash up from the bottom or down from the top using the appropriate number of extension odes for the height of Me chimney.When cleaning from Me Mp remove Me Rain Cap before maadteg Me brush into Me top of the liner. The Ram Cap can be removed by loosening the damp fastener and removing the Rain Cap from the Top Plate or from the Liner(depending on method of Installation).
