WMC Series Woodburning Fireplace
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. It is recommended that
you always meet or exceed the “Ten Foot Rule,” espe-
cially when installing a termination on a high pitch roof.
(Fig. 6)
Mounting the Fireplace
A fireplace may be mounted on the following surfaces:
1. A flat combustible surface.
The key points of the "Ten Foot Rule" are:
2. A raised wooden platform.
1. If the horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak
of the roof is 10' (3 m) or less, the top of the chimney
must be at least 2' (609 mm) above the peak of the
roof, but never less than 3' (914 mm) in height above
the highest point where it passes through the roof.
3. A concrete block or other solid object placed be-
neath each of the four (4) corners of the fireplace.
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. Refer to Page 14, Figure
18.
2. If a horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak
of the roof is more than 10' (3 m), a chimney height
reference point is established that is on the surface of
the roof a distance of 10' (3 m) from the chimney in a
horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be at
least 2' (609 mm) above the reference point, but never
less than 3' (914 mm) in height above the highest
point where it passes through the roof.
Planning the Chimney Run
Determine how the chimney will be run, length of run
and chimney components required to complete the
job. (Fig. 4) Never install a chimney below minimum
heights.

Fig. 6 Ten Foot Rule illustration.
In planning a chimney system, it is important to know:
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 chim-
ney system) is 20' (6 m).
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 (not provided) is required for
chimneys extending more than 6' (1.8 m) above a
roof line.

WMC Series Woodburning Fireplace
Chimney Supports
Installation
The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for
vertical chimney heights less than 30' (9 m) above the
hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical
height exceeds 30' (9 m) with SK8 chimneys or 20' (6
m) with 3-wall chimneys. Locate chimney supports
at ceiling holes or other structural framing at 30' (9 m)
(SK8) or 20' (6 m) (3-wall) heights. Spacing between
chimney supports must not exceed 30' (9 m) (SK8)
or 20' (6 m) (3-wall). Use Chimney Support Model
SKCS8 (SK8) and TCS8A (3-wall). (NOTE: The
chimney support cannot be mounted directly to
the fireplace.) Support provided by elbow straps ful-
fills the support requirement only if they are spaced as
previously described. (A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" 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
insulation 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. 8)
When a fireplace is installed in a chase or on a
outside wall, enclosure should be treated like any
outside wall in a home. Insulation should be installed
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. Insulation may then be
installed above sheeting material to assure the space
around the fireplace is totally protected. (Fig. 3)
Angled chimney runs require a support every 6' (1.8m)
in addition to the elbow straps. Chimney supports are
used for this function. (Fig. 7)
Chase Installation
A chase is a vertical boxlike 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. 3)
When installing the chimney, DO NOT caulk between
outer pipe and firestop. It is vital that some air be al-
lowed to flow through this very thin gap.
If you need help in determining fireplace location or
how the chimney system should be run, contact your
CFM Corporation dealer for assistance.
CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING A FIREPLACE IN
AN INSULATED ENCLOSURE, BE SURE ALL RE-
QUIRED AIR SPACES ARE MAINTAINED. (Page 13,

Chimney Centerline
Chimney Set-up
Since you have already preplanned the chimney run,
you should know exactly how the installation is to be
accomplished - how much pipe is required, the number
of elbows, if any, and type of termination to be used.
Actual Centerpoint
9¹⁄₄"
(235mm)
CAUTION: REPORT TO YOUR DEALER ANY PARTS
DAMAGED IN SHIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY CHECK
THE END CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY SECTIONS
AND ELBOWS.
NOTE: The WMC36 may use CFM Corporation model
SK8, or Model S (three wall) chimney systems. How-
ever, a TWABR adapter collar is required when using
the Model S (triple wall) chimney system on this unit.
The WMC42 is designed to use only the "S" triple wall
chimney system. Either chimney system may be used,
but must not be mixed.
Plumb Line
Plumb Bob

terpoint
NOTE: To use the TWABR adapter on the WMC36,
remove and discard the cover plate on the top shield.
(Fig. 8)
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" (235
mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the
fireplace. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through
this mark. (Fig. 11)
Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center
point of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to estab-
lish the chimney center point. (Fig. 11)
FPC556
Fig. 11 Locate centerline of chimney with plumb line.
Offset Installation
Ceiling Chimney Hole/
Possible Obstructions
In order to clear an obstruction, it may be necessary
to offset chimney from vertical. This is accomplished
by using CFM Corporation elbows. Use the 30˚ Offset
Elbow table on Page 5 to determine proper offset and
parts required.
The size of the hole in ceiling will vary with the angle at
which the chimney passes through ceiling.
Drive a nail up through ceiling at marked chimney center
point. Go to floor above and see where hole will be cut.
Check to see where existing ceiling joists and other pos-
sible obstructions are located...i.e. wiring, plumbing etc...
If necessary, reposition chimney and/or fireplace to avoid
obstructions.
Each offset requires two (2) elbows. The second
elbow 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 the elbow
straps can be secured to framing members to help
support the weight of the chimney.
Cutting the Hole
Determine offset distance of your chimney arrange-
ment from centerline of fireplace to centerline of chim-
ney where it is to pass through ceiling.
Cover fireplace collar opening and cut proper sized
chimney hole in chimney. The SK8 pipe allows you to
run pipe through a typical 16” on center joist without cut-
ting joists.
Locate center point of the chimney on ceiling as
though a straight up chimney arrangement is to be
used. Measure your offset dimension from straight up
chimney center point on ceiling.

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.
Fig. 12 Ceiling chimney hole sizes necessary for installing
firestop spacer.
The inside dimension of the frame must be the same
as the hole size selected from Figure 13 in order
to provide required air space between the outside
diameter of the chimney and the edges of the framed
ceiling hole. (1¹⁄₂" - SK8; 2" - 3 wall)
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"
(38 mm) wide and equal in length to the metal strips
provided with the fireplace.

Hole sizes listed in Figure 13 for angled firestop spacers
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.
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. 18)
Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is
installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must
install a firestop spacer.
Proper Firestop Spacer Installation
Installing the Firestop Spacer
in the Ceiling Hole
Figure 19 shows different installation procedures for
both an area that is an attic and an area that is not an
attic.
A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly
and required for safety.
If the area above the ceiling is not an attic, position the
firestop spacer with the flange on the ceiling side and the
angled portion extending up into the hole.
Nail the firestop spacer (at each corner) to the framing
members of the ceiling hole. NOTE: A firestop spacer
is not required at the roof.
If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position the
firestop spacer with the flange on the top of the framed

chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" long when installed. Consider
this dimension when determining how many straight

Firestop spacers are not available for nor are they re-
quired on vertical walls.
NOTE: Chimney supports are generally used in long
runs in a chase installation.
DO NOT put any sealant around the area where the
outer pipe slides through the firestop spacer. If you seal
this area, it may cause a fire hazard.
Additional Ceilings
If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps
required for first ceiling installation. Refer to firestop
illustration on Figure 19.
Canadian Requirements for
Insulation Shield
Penetrating the Roof
In Canada, an attic insulation shield is required to pre-
vent attic insulation from contacting the chimney sec-
tion. Framing dimensions for the chimney hole should
measure 14¹⁄₂" x 14¹⁄₂" (368 x 368 mm) for SK8; 17¹⁄₂" x
17¹⁄₂" (445 x 445 mm) for 3-wall. An attic shield MUST
be installed on top of attic joists (above the floor level).
(Fig. 20)
Run pipe to roof line. Since chimney system must be
vented to the out-of-doors, you must use an approved
termination.
If a chase is used, refer to the installation manual pro-
vided with the termination cap.
Locate Chimney Centerpoint On Roof
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.
Use same procedure detailed in locating center point of
the flue system.
Drive a nail up through roof at the center point. This will
determine center point on outside of the roof.
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.
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.
Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run
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
There must be an air space (1¹⁄₂" - SK8; 2" - 3-wall)
between outermost portion of chimney sections and any
section.

tures.)
Air Space Clearances
Combustible framing material MUST NOT
penetrate AIR SPACE (shaded areas).
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
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.

WARNING: HEARTH EXTENSION MUST BE IN-
STALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FIGURE 24 AND
MUST NOT COVER THE BOTTOM FRONT OPENING
OF THE CIRCULATING MODEL.
Hearth Installation
A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible
floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 24 for
minimum dimensions and mounting detail.
Alternate noncombustible materials may be used provid-
ing the (total) thermal resistance (Rt value) of the alter-
nate material employed is greater than or equal to R =
1.09. Thermal resistance (R) or thermal conductivity (K),
may be obtained from manufacturer of the material. Fac-
tors are related by the formula K = 1/R.
NOTE: Hearth Extension must not cover the air
inlet/outlet opening of a fireplace.
The hearth extension described in Figure 24 must be a
durable noncombustible material with a minimum (to-
tal) Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 25 for examples.
The overall height (above a combustible floor), depth
and width must be as indicated, with the extension
centered to the fireplace opening.
T = given thickness
R = thermal resistance for a given thickness (T)
K = thermal conductivity
The top of insulation must be covered with a noncom-
bustible decorative covering or a piece of .018” mini-
mum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material.
(Fig. 24)
Noncombustible material with a lower R value may
be used, provided thickness of material is sufficiently
greater to maintain an equivalent (total) thermal resis-
tance (Rt).
Secure the hearth extension to the floor to prevent
shifting, using trim molding or other similar means at
three (3) outer edges. Seal crack between the fire-
place hearth and hearth extension with a noncombus-
tible material. (Figs. 22 and 26)
