Construct the Chase A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the ' fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase. In cold climates, Vermont Castings Group recommends that the chase be well insulated using batt type insulation between the joists. Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build- ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require- ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked. Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be insulated. Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling firestops/ attic shields at each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3048 mm) of clear space to control spread of fire. Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor at the first level of the chase should be insulated (see Figure 3.3.) Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Ad- ditionally, Vermont Castings Group recommends that the inside surfaces be drywalled and taped (or the use of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness. Holes and other openings should be caulked with high tem- perature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation. WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceil- ing firestops at each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) to control spread of fire. WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between fire stop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use 6000 F sealant). • The chase is constructed using framing materials much the same as the walls in your home. A variety of siding materials may be used including brick, stone, veneer brick, or standard siding materials. • In constructing the chase, several factors must be considered: - Maintain a 2 in. (51 mm) air space around the chimney. - The chase top must be constructed of non- combustible material. - In cold climates, a firestop spacer and attic insulation shield should be installed in an insulated false ceiling at the 8 ft. (2438 mm) level above the fireplace assembly. This reduces heat loss through the chase. - In cold climates, the walls of the chase should be insulated to the level of the false ceiling as shown in Figure 3.3. This will help reduce heat loss from the home around the fireplace.

Risk of Fire! You must maintain a mini- mum 2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insula- tion and other materials surrounding the chimney system. • Insulation and other materials must be firmly secured to prevent accidental contact with chimney system. • The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown insulation or other combustibles from entering and making contact with fireplace or chimney. • Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other materials and chimney system may cause overheating and fire. Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig- ure 3.4. 1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase. 2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in chase. 3.

Frame the Fireplace NOTICE: Hearth extension design must be determined before installation of fireplace. If the fireplace is placed on the floor the maximum height of a finished raised hearth is 7 1/2". If you want a higher raised hearth the fireplace must be placed on a platform. WARNING! Risk of Fire. A raised hearth extension built flush with the fireplace opening or less than 4 in. (102 mm) below the fireplace opening requires the fireplace be installed on a non-combustible surface. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear- ances specified. - • A minimum 112 in. (13 mm) air clearance must be maintained at the back and sides of the fireplace assembly. • Chimney sections at any level require a 2 in. (51 mm) minimum airspace clearance between the framing and chimney section. WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must comply with all minimum air space clearances to combustibles. DO NOT pack required air spaces with insulation or other materi- als. Figure 3.5 shows a typical framing (using 2 x 4 lumber) of the fireplace, assuming combustible materials are used. All required clearances to combustibles around the fireplace must be adhered to. See Figure 3.2. Any framing across the top of the fireplace must be above the level of the top standoffs. 2 in. (51 mm) min. air space clearance from chimney. C �A Figure 3.5 Framing the Fireplace V The finished cavity depth must be no less than 21 3/8 in. (543 mm) from the finished backwall to the outside of front wall framing. CAUTION! Risk of Cuts/Abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges are sharp. E. Secure and Level the Fireplace This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the instruc- tions for framing in Section 3. Slide'the fireplace into posi- tion. Be sure to provide the minimum 1/2 in. air clearance at the sides and back of the fireplace. The fireplace should be positioned so the face of the non- combustible material on the fireplace will be flush with the face of the drywall on the walls. Level the fireplace and shim as necessary. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with sagging, loose insulation. • DO NOT install against vapor barriers or exposed insulation. • Secure insulation and vapor barriers. • Provide minimum airspace clearances at the sides and back of the fireplace assembly. L� b1t71— Fireplace must be set out 1/2 in. 1/2 in. (13 mm) in front of (13 mm) the face of the framing material. Header MUST NOT be notched! D = extra space needed for outside air connection.

Outside Air Kit (optional) If you install an outside air kit, Vermont Castings Group recommends you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside air kit. The outside air inlet hood should be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an in- stallation, a 3 ft (914 mm) height difference must be main- tained from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside air inlet hood. Refer to Figures 3.8 and 3.9 when placing the outside air inlet hood. The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of the fireplace. • Cut a 4-1/2 in. (114 mm) hole in outside wall to accommodate air piping. • Use 4 in. (102 mm) flex (not supplied) to directly connect outside air to fireplace intake. Insulate the pipe to prevent frost condensation. • Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture penetration and air leaks. • Seal between the outside air inlet hood and the house with silicone to prevent air infiltration. CAUTION! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT draw outside combustion air from wall, floor or ceiling cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage. • DO NOT place outside air inlet hood close to exhaust vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor could be drawn into the room through the fireplace. • Locate outside air inlet hood to prevent blockage from leaves, snow/ice, or other debris. Blockages could cause combustion air starvation. N Garag r com stible liq ' s storage �� rr rr � CAUTION! Risk of Cuts/Abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation.

Offsets/Returns • Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions. • An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s). WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause overheating and fire. Secure offsets with.screws ( not to exceed 112"113 mm in length) Secure retums with strapping. Straight chimney sections may be secured with screws. Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting. • 'Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 4.2. • Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 4.3. The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 4.3 represents the required vertical clearance needed to complete the offset/return. • Read across'the chart to find the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

Assemble Chimney Sections Use only those components described in this manual. Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair safe operation and cause overheating and fire. Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the top of the fireplace (depending on your installation require- ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section. The inner flue is placed to the inside of the flue section be- low it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the chimney section below it. See Figure 5.2. NOTICE. Chimney sections cannot be disassembled once locked together. Plan ahead! • Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section. • Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged and will not separate. • You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do NOT penetrate inner flue. WARNING! Risk of Firel You MUST use screws to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so could cause fire. Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Insert the screws (provided) through the predrilled holes. Do NOT penetrate inner flue. Secure chimney returns with hanger straps provided; fasten to studs or joists. Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every 35 ft (10.7 m). Figure 5.2 Assembling Chimney Sections WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or damaged chimney components. C. Install Chimney Air Kit • Required in Canada. • Follow instructions included with accessory. VCG Royalton Series • BE36/42 •4044-197 Installation Manual • Rev A • 02/18/15 19 D. Secure Offset/Return When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sec- tions, they must be locked into position with screws. To pre- vent gravity from pulling the chimney sections apart, the returns and the chimney stabilizers have hanger straps for. securing these parts to joists or rafters. See Figure 5.3. Use # 6 or # 8 sheet metal screw, or larger, no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm). WARNING! Risk of Fire! • Secure offsets with screws (not to exceed 112 in./13 mm In length). • Secure returns with strapping. • Straight chimney sections may be secured with screw (not to exceed 112 in./13 mm In length) at the joints. • Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.

Ceiling firestops must be used whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/floor. • Chase construction requires ceiling firestops at each floor or every 10 ft. (3.05 m) of clear space. • The ceiling firestop slows spread of fire and reduces. cold air infiltration. • Install a ceiling firestop whenever chimney penetrates ceiling/floor. • Mark and cut an opening in ceiling as shown in Figure 5.4. • Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the ceiling joists. • Nail the ceiling firestop to the bottom of the ceiling joists when there is a room above. • Use an attic insulation shield if the ceiling is insulated. The ceiling firestop may then be attached above or below the joists. ROOM ABOVE (non -insulated ceiling) Ceiing firestop 1D attached to bottom —� of framing 2 in.

Install Attic Insulation Shield WARNING! Risk of Firel You MUST install an attic insu- lation shield when there is any possibility of insulation or other combustible material coming into contact with the chimney, • DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and the attic insulation shield. • Failure to keep insulation and other materials away from chimney pipe could cause fire. • DO NOT offset chimney inside insulation shield. Installation of a ceiling firestop is required: • Refer to Figures 5.4, 5.6, 5.7. • Roll the shield (around the chimney if already installed). The three holes on each side will match up (large holes on top). • Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a tube. • Bend the tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 900 to maintain chimney air space. • Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling firestop below. • Bend the tabs at the top of the shield inward to 900 to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) air space from the chimney. If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these guidelines: • Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to hold back the insulation can be used. WARNING/ Risk of Firel Use of cardboard or other materials that can deflect under humidity or other envi- ronmental conditions is not recommended. • The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend above the insulation and prevent blown -in insulation from spilling into the cavity. • Maintain specified air spaces around chimney. • Check instructions and local codes for further details. Double-check the Chimney Assembly Continue assembling the chimney sections up through the ceiling firestops as needed. While doing so, be aware of the height and unsupported chimney length limitations given under Section 5. Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to ensure proper engagement before installing the suc- ceeding. sections. If they have been connected correct- ly, they will not disengage when tested.
