Designed with care, this package contains all the necessary parts that ensure an adequate and appealing fit for your 8" DuraPlus chimney. The set includes:

1. 8" DuraPlus Storm Collar: Offering an additional layer of defense, the storm collar establishes a watertight seal around the chimney, reinforcing its resistance against adverse weather conditions.

2. 8" DuraPlus Chimney Cap: The chimney cap is a barrier that keeps outside garbage, raindrops, and other external elements while permitting sufficient air circulation.

How to Install DuraPlus Chimney Pipe Kits using Ceiling Support Box?

A DuraPlus Ceiling Support Pipe Kit is an essential choice for anyone looking to install a chimney system that combines safety, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. With this kit, you ensure a robust and secure chimney setup, providing a long-lasting, reliable solution for your home heating needs. By following the installation steps outlined below, you’ll maximize your chimney’s performance and protect your home for years to come. The DuraPlus Ceiling Support Kit is available in 6-Inches, 7-Inches and 8-Inches.

Why Invest in a Ceiling Support Pipe Kit?

  • Unmatched Stability: The ceiling support pipe kit offers superior stability, ideal for multi-story homes and applications where safety is paramount. It ensures your chimney remains firmly in place, even in extreme weather conditions.
  • Enhanced Safety Features: This kit incorporates critical safety components like Firestop Radiation Shields and Attic Insulation Shields, safeguarding your home from potential hazards while complying with building codes.
  • Versatile and Customizable: Whether you need square or round support boxes, this kit offers flexibility, making it adaptable for different ceiling types, including cathedral ceilings. With various trim options, you can also enhance your chimney's appearance to complement your home’s aesthetic.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Place the Appliance: Begin by positioning your appliance according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring the flue outlet collar aligns perfectly between the rafters or joists. This alignment is crucial for a secure and efficient chimney installation.
  2. Frame the Support Opening: Use a plumb bob to mark the center of the flue outlet on the ceiling, then cut a hole according to the support box type—square or round. Frame a level, sturdy opening around the hole to provide a stable base for the support.
  3. Install the Support: Slip the Support Box into the framed opening, ensuring it extends at least 2 inches below the finished ceiling. Secure the box with 8-penny nails and attach the trim frames for a polished look. With brass trim options available, you can elevate the appearance of your installation.
  4. Frame Openings for Firestop and Attic Insulation Shields: Frame openings in each ceiling or floor above the Support Box to hold the Firestop Radiation Shield and Attic Insulation Shield. This ensures your chimney maintains necessary clearances and complies with safety regulations.
  5. Cut the Roof Opening: To accommodate the chimney, cut an opening in the roof that’s at least 4 inches larger than the chimney’s diameter. This allows for a 2-inch clearance to combustibles. If the chimney passes between closely spaced rafters, use Close Clearance Shields to avoid structural reframing.
  6. Install Firestop Radiation Shield: Depending on whether your home is a two-story or multi-story building, install the Firestop Radiation Shield accordingly. This shield is vital for maintaining safety where the chimney passes through floors, providing a secure barrier between the chimney and surrounding materials.
  7. Assemble Chimney Sections: Lower the first chimney section into the Support Box, twist-locking it securely. While sheet metal screws can reinforce the connection, they are generally not required. This step ensures the stability of your chimney system.
  8. Install the Attic Insulation Shield: Where the chimney enters the attic, the Attic Insulation Shield prevents debris and insulation from coming into contact with the chimney. For spaces where a standard shield won’t fit, the Square Support Box can double as an Insulation Shield, providing both flexibility and safety.
  9. Attach Flashing: Properly seal the chimney by attaching flashing above the roofline, ensuring a 2-inch clearance from combustibles. Seal all nail heads and apply waterproof sealant for long-lasting protection against the elements.
  10. Finish the Top: Apply high-temperature, non-hardening sealant around the chimney where the Storm Collar meets the Flashing. Install the Chimney Cap to prevent debris and weather from entering, and secure it firmly for stability. In areas with heavy snowfall, consider adding a splitter (fabricated separately) to divert snow around the chimney.
  11. Enclose the Chimney in Occupied Spaces: When the chimney passes through occupied areas, such as closets or living spaces, build enclosures to maintain a 2-inch clearance from combustibles. Use wall straps as needed to secure the chimney and ensure proper airflow.

Investing in a ceiling support pipe kit is a strategic move to guarantee a safe and efficient chimney installation. By following this detailed guide, you’ll not only secure your chimney but also enhance your home’s safety, efficiency, and aesthetics. Whether you’re building a new or upgrading an existing system, choose the ceiling support pipe kit for a reliable and worry-free installation.
