Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Position Your Appliance Correctly: Ensure the flue outlet collar is optimally placed between rafters or joists. Following the manufacturer’s instructions precisely guarantees proper alignment and maximum efficiency.
- Frame the Support Opening: Mark the center of the flue outlet on the ceiling using a plumb bob, and cut a square or round hole for the Support Box. Proper framing ensures the stability and safety of the chimney.
- Install the Support Box: Slip the Support Box into the opening, making sure it extends at least 2 inches below the ceiling for adequate support. Secure it with 8-penny nails or screws, ensuring a firm and level attachment.
- Frame Openings Above the Support Box: For multi-story installations, frame openings in each ceiling or floor hold the Firestop Radiation Shields and Attic Insulation Shields. Properly framed openings ensure the chimney maintains safe clearances throughout its path.
- Cut the Roof Opening: Make a roof opening at least 4 inches larger than the chimney’s diameter for a minimum 2-inch clearance. This space is critical to maintaining a safe, well-ventilated chimney system.
- Install the Firestop Radiation Shield: Essential for safety, the Firestop Radiation Shield should be installed at each floor penetration. It provides a barrier against heat and helps prevent the spread of fire, making it a crucial component in any multi-story installation.
- Assemble Chimney Sections: Securely lock the chimney sections together with the twist-lock mechanism. Optional sheet metal screws can reinforce connections, but these should not penetrate the inner liner to maintain system integrity.
- Install the Attic Insulation Shield: If the chimney passes through an attic, the Attic Insulation Shield is vital for keeping debris and insulation away from the chimney, protecting your home from potential fire hazards.
- Attach Flashing: Whether in new construction or an existing roof, installing the flashing properly is essential for a leak-proof, durable seal. Make sure to maintain the 2-inch clearance around the chimney and secure the flashing with roofing nails, sealing all nail heads to prevent leaks.
- Finish the Top: Apply a non-hardening sealant around the chimney where the Storm Collar meets the flashing, ensuring a watertight seal. The Chimney Cap, which is easy to remove for cleaning, protects the chimney from debris and weather.
- Enclose Chimneys Passing Through Occupied Spaces: Maintaining at least a 2-inch clearance to combustibles, enclose the chimney with appropriate materials like sheetrock or plywood for a clean, professional look. Wall Straps can help maintain proper spacing, ensuring safety compliance.
By opting for a high-quality oil furnace pipe kit and adhering to these installation steps, you’re investing in a solution that maximizes safety, efficiency, and long-term performance. This proactive approach not only ensures your furnace runs efficiently but also provides robust protection against potential hazards. Take control of your home’s safety and comfort with a professionally installed oil furnace pipe kit—your home deserves nothing less.
