Planning Information  
Preplanning an installation is very important to ensure  
safety and to save time and money. An installer must  
predetermine where a fireplace will be set and how the  
chimney system will be run.  
The Ten Foot Rule  
Major U.S. building codes specify a minimum chimney  
height above the roof top. The “Ten Foot Rule” is a fire  
safety rule and not a draft rule. To ensure proper draft,  
it is recommended that you always meet or exceed the  
Ten Foot Rule,” especially when installing a termination  
on a high pitch roof. (Fig. 8)  
Mounting the Fireplace  
A fireplace may only be mounted on the following sur-  
faces:  
The key points of the "Ten Foot Rule" are:  
1. A flat combustible surface.  
2. A raised wooden platform.  
3. A concrete block or other solid object placed beneath  
each of the four (4) corners of the fireplace.  
1. If the horizontal distance from the chimney to the  
peak of the roof is 10' (3m) or less, the top of the  
chimney must be at least 2' (610mm) above the peak  
of the roof, but never less than 3' (914mm) in height  
above the highest point where it passes through the  
roof.  
The fireplace must be spaced 1/2" (13 mm) from a  
combustible back wall and 1/2" (13 mm) from a com-  
bustible side wall or support. (Page 14, Fig. 20)  
2. If a horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak  
of the roof is more than 10' (3m), a chimney height  
reference point is established on the surface of the  
roof a distance of 10' (3m) from the chimney in a  
horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be  
at least 2' (610mm) above the reference point, but  
never less than 3' (614mm) in height above the high-  
est point where it passes through the roof.

Reference  
Point  
AC246  
In planning a chimney system, it is important to know:  
Fig. 8 Ten Foot Rule illustration.  
1. The height of a chimney is measured from the hearth  
to the exit point on the termination.  
2. A chimney cannot be offset more than 30° from a  
vertical plane.  
3. A chimney may run straight up or it may be neces-  
sary to offset it to avoid obstructions.  
4. The maximum length of an angled run (total chimney  
system) is 20' (6m).  
5. No more than 2 offsets (4 total 30° elbows in U.S./or  
2 total 45° elbows in Canada) per fireplace may be  
used.  
6. A guy wire stabilizer is required for chimneys extend-  
ing more than 6' (1.8m) above a roof line.

Chimney Supports  
Installation  
The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for  
vertical chimney heights less than 30' (9m) above the  
hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical  
height exceeds 30' (9m) with SK8 chimneys or 20' (6m)  
with 3-wall chimneys. Locate chimney supports at ceil-  
ing holes or other structural framing at 30' (9m) (SK8)  
or 20' (6m) (3-wall) heights. Spacing between chimney  
supports must not exceed 30' (9m) (SK8) or 20' (6m)  
(3-wall). Use Chimney Support Model SKCS8. (NOTe:  
The SKCS8 can not be mounted directly to the  
fireplace.) Support provided by elbow straps fulfills the  
support requirement only if they are spaced as previ-  
ously described. (A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" (64mm)  
long when installed.)  
Insulating Fireplace enclosure  
for Cold Climates  
If you live in a cold climate, it is not required but  
highly recommended that you insulate fireplace  
enclosure to eliminate cold air penetration as much  
as possible.  
Insulate base of fireplace with a noncombustible in-  
sulation rated for a minimum of 300°F. Insulating is  
very important for outside wall installations over a  
concrete slab. If fireplace is installed on a platform,  
insulation should be placed on top of the platform  
before fireplace is set. (Fig. 10)  
Angled chimney runs require a support every 6' (1.8m)  
in addition to the elbow straps. Chimney supports are  
used for this function. (Fig. 9)  
When a fireplace is installed in a chase or on an  
outside wall, enclosure should be treated like any  
outside wall in a home. Insulation should be in-  
stalled on the inside wall as well as the outside  
wall(s). In a chase, it is also a good idea to install a  
firestop at the first ceiling level above the fireplace  
and enclose the chase with sheeting material. Insu-  
lation may then be installed above sheeting material  
to assure the space around the fireplace is totally  
protected. (Fig. 5)  
Chase Installation  
A chase is a vertical box like structure which encloses  
the fireplace and/or chimney. Chases are typically built  
on the outside of the house with fireplace opening cut  
into the outer wall of a room. (Page 5, Fig. 5)  
If you need help in determining fireplace location or how  
the chimney system should be run, contact your MHSC  
dealer for assistance.  
When installing the chimney, DO NOT caulk be-  
tween outer pipe and firestop. It is vital that some  
air be allowed to flow through this very thin gap.  
CAUTION: WHeN INSTALLINg A FIRePLACe IN  
AN INSULATeD eNCLOSURe, be SURe ALL Re-

Framing  
Option For Circulating Models Only —  
Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace  
is set in place, however, most installers build the frame  
before setting the fireplace.  
eb1 (Receptacle) Hook-Up  
• Wiring should be installed by a certified  
electrician.  
• Turn off circuit breaker before wiring models.  
Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materials.  
Refer to framing dimensions in Figures 1, 2, 3 or 4 for  
basic fireplace specifications.  
Once fireplace is secured, complete wiring the fan  
kit. Remove knockout in the center of the back of  
the EB1 and install listed cable clamps. Feed electri-  
cal wire through listed cable clamp leaving approxi-  
mately six (6) inches of wire exposed through the  
EB1. Secure listed cable clamp to the wire.  
NOTe: Framing should be positioned to accommodate  
wall covering and fireplace facing material.  
Installing electrical Wire  
(for Circulator Models)  
Attach white wire from power source to one (1) wire  
of receptacle and secure with nut. Attach black  
wire from power source to the other wire of recep-  
tacle and secure with nut. Be sure nuts are secured  
tightly.  
If a circulating fireplace is to be installed, run the 120  
VAC, 60 Hz wiring to the left side of installation. Wiring  
must be completed before the fireplace is secured and  
finish material applied.  
Remove the cover plate and electrical knockout on the  
lower left side of the fireplace and set aside. Follow the  
instructions on Page 10 for proper wiring and installation  
of the EB1.  
Secure EB1 assembly to inside of electrical box  
coverplate using two screws. Attach cover to face of  
the EB1 while being careful to position excess wire  
completely within the EB1, then attach coverplate to  
fireplace.  
If the fan kit is not being installed with the fireplace, it  
is highly recommended that 120 VAC supply be made  
available since someone may elect to install a blower at  
a later date.  
Install Fan Kit Assembly  
Refer to optional Model FK12 fan kit assembly in-  
stallation instructions for field installation.  
Chimney Setup  
Hard Flat  
Surface  
Since you have already preplanned the chimney run,  
you should know exactly how the installation is to be ac-  
complished — how much pipe is required, the number  
of elbows, if any, and type of termination to be used.  
CAUTION: REPORT TO YOUR DEALERS ANY  
PARTS DAMAGED IN SHIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY  
CHECK THE END CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY SEC-  
TIONS AND ELBOWS.  
NOTe: Fireplaces may use MHSC model SK8, or Mod-  
el S (three wall) chimney systems. The WR/WC Series  
"A" Fireplace will accept the SK8 chimney system as is;  
but a TWABR adapter collar is required when using the  
Model S (triple wall) chimney system. The installation  
procedure described in this manual applies only to the  
SK8 system. Either chimney system may be used, but  
may not be mixed.

WR / WC Series Woodburning Fireplace  
is equipped with support straps. It is very important to  
install the second elbow in each offset as close to the  
ceiling or support as possible so that the elbow straps  
can be secured to framing members to help support the  
weight of the chimney.  
Straight-Up Chimney Installation  
To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace  
in final position and measure out from the wall: 9¹⁄₄"  
(235mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the  
fireplace. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through  
this mark. (Fig. 11)  
Determine offset distance of your chimney arrangement  
from centerline of fireplace to centerline of chimney  
where it is to pass through ceiling.  
Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point  
of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to establish the  
chimney center point. (Fig. 11)  
Locate center point of the chimney on ceiling as though  
a straight up chimney arrangement is to be used. Mea-  
sure your offset dimension from straight up chimney  
center point on ceiling.  
Offset Installation  
In order to clear an obstruction, it may be necessary to  
offset chimney from vertical. This is accomplished by  
using MHSC elbows. Use the 30° Offset Elbow table on  
Page 6 to determine proper offset and parts required.  
Ceiling Chimney Hole/  
Possible Obstructions  
The size of the hole in ceiling will vary with the angle at  
which the chimney passes through ceiling.  
Each offset requires two (2) elbows. The second elbow  
Drive a nail up through ceiling at marked chimney cen-  
ter point. Go to floor above and see where hole will be  
cut. Check to see where existing ceiling joists and other  
possible obstructions are located...i.e. wiring, plumbing  
etc... If necessary, reposition chimney and/or fireplace  
to avoid obstructions.

run pipe through a typical 16” on center joist without  
cutting joists.

Installing Outside Air Kit  
An outside air kit is installed in all WR/WC Series Fire-  
places. If desired, or if local codes mandate the use of  
an air kit, then an AK-MST is required to complete the  
installation (from air kit to the outdoors). If the outside  
air kit is to be used, the AK-MST MUST be installed be-  
FORe the fireplace is enclosed. Refer to the AK-MST  
instructions for field installation.

Safety strips are used to ensure that any combustible  
materials in front of the fireplace are protected even  
though a noncombustible hearth extension is required.  
When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap-  
lock. Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure  
to always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural  
framing member. (Fig. 17)  
If fireplace is to be elevated above the floor, a “Z”  
shaped metal safety strip must be fabricated and used  
to protect combustible surfaces in front of the fireplace.  
This “Z” shaped safety strip is not provided but must be  
fabricated of metal with each horizontal leg at least 1¹⁄₂"  
(38mm) wide and equal in length to the metals strips  
provided with the fireplace.

Hole sizes listed in Figure 13 for angled firestop spac-  
ers provide minimum required air space to chimney  
pipe for ceiling thickness up to 8" (203 mm). When  
combined thickness of ceiling material, ceiling joists and  
flooring material exceeds 8" (203 mm), adjustments  
must be made in framing to assure that minimum air  
spaces to chimney are maintained.

NOTe: In the U.S., it is a good idea, although not al-  
ways required, to install an attic insulation shield where  
blown-in insulation is planned to be used in the attic.  
Penetrating the Roof  
Run pipe to roofline. Since the chimney system must be  
vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved  
termination.  
Install the attic insulation shield with the flanges on its  
base extending down into the framing hole. Nail each  
corner of attic insulation shield to the framing members  
of the ceiling hole using 8d nails. Attic shields are not  
required at the roof.  
If a chase is used, refer to the installation manual pro-  
vided with the termination cap.  
Locate Chimney Centerpoint On Roof  
Use same procedure detailed in locating centerpoint of  
the flue system.

Cut and Frame Roof Hole  
Size of roof hole varies with the type of chimney ter-  
mination installed. Refer to installation instructions  
provided with the chimney termination to find correct  
size of roof hole.  
Attic Joist  
There must be a 1¹⁄₂ (38 mm) air space between out-  
ermost portion of chimney sections and any adjacent  
combustible surfaces. (Combustible surfaces include  
burnable materials such as: ceiling members, joists,  
flooring, combustible insulation and roof structures.)

WARNINg: DO NOT PACK ReQUIReD AIR SPACeS  
WITH INSULATION OR OTHeR MATeRIALS.  
Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run  
Mark an outline of the roof hole around the center of the  
point nail. NOTe: Hole dimensions given in the chim-  
ney top installation instructions are horizontal dimen-  
sions; therefore, the hole size must be marked on the  
roof accordingly.  
Continue attaching pipe sections to complete system  
to next level always being careful that the pipe is firmly  
snapped locked in place before proceeding to next pipe  
section.  
Chimney Supports  
Cover the opening of the installed chimney so debris  
cannot get into the system.  
If chimney supports are required, they are installed  
the same as elbows. Nail chimney support straps to  
adjacent structural framing, as shown on, Page 8, Fig.  
9. Bend straps as necessary and make sure they are  
secure so they will support the weight of the chimney. A  
chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" (64 mm) long when installed.  
Consider this dimension when determining how many  
straight chimney sections are needed.  
Cut and frame the hole. It is good practice to use fram-  
ing lumber that is the same size as the rafters. Install  
the frame securely because the chimney top and flash-  
ing anchored to the frame must be able to withstand  
heavy winds.  
Install Remainder of Chimney Sections  
NOTe: Chimney supports are generally used in long  
runs in a chase installation.  
Since you have already preplanned the height of your  
termination according to the Ten Foot Rule, continue to  
install pipe to the predetermined height.  
Additional Ceilings  
Check the chimney top installation instructions for  
details on how high above the roof top the chimney sec-  
tions (all pipes) should extend.  
If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps  
required for first ceiling installation. Refer to firestop  
illustration on Page 12, Figure 18.

A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible  
floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 23 for mini-  
mum dimensions and mounting detail.  
Adjacent combustible side walls that are within the mini-  
mum dimensions shown in Figure 23 of fireplace open-  
ing must be protected with MHSC Wall Shield Model  
SP40 or a specifically built wall shield described below.  
NOTe: Hearth extension must not cover the air  
inlet opening of a fireplace.  
The special wall shield design described in Figure 20 is  
an alternate method of adding protection to side walls  
and can be used in place of the SP40 with the same  
wall clearances specified for the SP40. Rt must =1.85  
minimum.  
The hearth extension described in Figure 23 must be a  
durable noncombustible material with a minimum (total)  
Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 24 for examples. The  
overall height (above a combustible floor), depth and  
width must be as indicated, with the extension centered  
to the fireplace opening.
