WARNING: Do not use any materials other than those specified in this instruction.
1. Read the installation instructions carefully prior to installing the chimney liner. If doubts exist,
contact your local distributor or Z-Flex at 1-800-654-5600 (in NH 603-669-5136).
2. Clean and repair chimney as required. NOTE: Removal of all tar glazed creosote is a must prior to
installation of chimney liner. Also, cracked, loose or missing bricks, mortar or other materials that
could inhibit correct installation of the chimney lining system, should be removed/repaired.
3. Contact your local building or fire officials about any restrictions and inspections required.
4. The wall penetration assemblies must not be located directly behind a heating appliance.
5. The chimney liner must not be sized less than that specified in the appliance manufacturer’s
instructions.
6. The liner may be purchased in various lengths to suit chimney height. If it is necessary a single joint
can be allowed to join two liners.
• Note: It is recommended to have the liner in one continuous length, however if liner
must be joined to achieve correct length use Part ID 2CNNTRC_ _.

is, chimneys are required to extend at least three (3) feet above the highest point where they
pass through the roof of a building, and at least two (2) feet higher than any portion of the
building within 10 feet (see illustration below).
