WARNING FOR SOLID FUEL APPLICATIONS
"Creosote and Soot -Formation and Need for Removal: When wood
is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow -burning fire. As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited,
this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be
inspected at least once every 2 months during the heating season to
determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot
has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fire."
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
It is important that the chimney system be checked and cleaned
annually. This is for the safety of the homeowner and necessary to
meet the warranty requirements of Ventis Class -A. As noted above, in
the case of solid fuel burning appliances, more frequent maintenance
may be required, depending on use and the appliance manufacturer's
instructions. The entire system, from the connection at the appliance to
the top of the chimney must be completely inspected and cleaned.
To clean the chimney lining system it is recommended to perform the
following:
1) Remove cap by either removing the 4 bolts on the cap lid or by
loosening the clamp band.
2) Select the proper sized chimney brush to clean the chimney. Be sure
the brush head passes throughout the complete length of the liner,
including the connectors, terminals and tees.
3) In some instances, proper cleaning will require removing the
appliance and disassembling the connector assembly to
thoroughly inspect and clean parts that cannot be reached otherwise.
4) Inspect and clean the chimney cap. Spark arrestors and other screens
may be necessary or required in some areas, but may be susceptible to
blockage from creosote or through freezing moisture in areas of low
ambient temperature.
5) Reinstall chimney cap
6) Before the initial firing of the appliance, check the appliance's
operating instructions for initial firing precautions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1) The Ventis Class -A chimney system is intended for use with heating
appliances, burning home heating oil, natural or LP gas and solid fuels
(pellet, wood, and coal). Use of experimental fuels is not permitted and
voids the warranty.
2) Use only components listed for use with the Venis Class -A Chimney
System
3) For solid -fuels, the chimney system is not to be sized less than that
specified in the appliance manufacturer's instructions.

instructions to complete the top termination. If the chimney is within a
chase enclosure, refer to Page 9, Step 7, Option 2.
A transition plate is similar to an anchor plate, but is designed for transition from a single wall flue liner (such
as Forever Flex, Rhino Rigid or Armor Flex to Ventis Class -A in a chimney restoration). Seal the transition plate
to the masonry chimney opening with high temperature adhesive/sealant or mortar. Further secure the
transition plate in each corner with four 1/4" x 2" tapcon type masonry anchors. Always maintain a 1 inch air
space clearance from the mounting plate to combustibles. Ensure the masonry chimney is a minimum of 10"
above insulation and any other attic combustibles. Attach the remaining chimney sections above while still
maintaining the required 2 inch air space to combustibles. Use a minimum of three self drilling screwsto at-
tach perjoint. Refer to page 6, step 5 for the roof opening and page 7, step 8 for top termination.
A minimum 2 inch airspace must be maintained between the exterior
of the Ventis Class -A chimney system and combustible materials or as
established by factory built supports and firestops. Ensure that building
insulation, electrical wiring and/or any other combustible materials do
not violate the required 2-inch airspace clearance.
The clearance between single wall connector pipe (VENTIS BLACK"
SINGLE WALL STOVEPIPE) and unprotected combustible material
must not be less than 18-inches (See latest version of NFPA 211). The
distance between the vertical single wall stove pipe and the ceiling

Exterior supported installations are used when passing through a
living space to an exterior mounted chimney. The exterior supported
installation uses our secure wall support bracketing system that
provides lateral and vertical weight bearing support.
Note: The total height of chimney from tee to top termination should
not exceed 60 ft.
STEP 1- Position appliance: locate appliance in accordance with the
appliance manufacturer's instructions and clearance specifications.
Pay particular attention to the outlet flue collar of the appliance and
endeavor to position it between the wall studs.
STEP 2 - Rough frame wall opening: The wall opening should be
centered between two wall studs. To determine the height of the
opening it is helpful to preassemble stove connector pipe and fit to
flue outlet collar. Mark location on wall. Cut and frame opening. Refer
to Table 1 on Page 5 for rough opening dimensions.
STEP 3 - Wall pass-thru (thimble) installation: The wall thimble
assembly consists of three parts: The exterior firestop section, the
adjustable extension and the interior trim plate. Install the firestop
section on the outside wall with the tube section pointing to the
structure interior. It is recommended to seal the outside edges of the
firestop section with a water -proof silicone. Secure to the framing with
a minimum of four 8-penny nails or four #8 x 1 1/2" wood screws. From
the interior, slide the adjustable extension onto the firestop section
tube. Adjust the extension so that it will be flush with the interior trim
plate once installed. Use a minimum of three self drilling screws to
secure the adjustable extension to the firestop section tube.
STEP 4 - Wall support bracketing: Determine the chimney section
length needed from the tee take -off to the structure interior. A
telescoping chimney section is useful to obtain exact length desired.
Keep in mind, the chimney must penetrate through the wall a
minimum of 6 inches into the interior. Secure this length of chimney to
the tee take -off using a minimum of 3 self drilling screws. Then, secure
a full length chimney section to the top of the tee using a minimum of
three self drilling screws. Loosely install a wall support bracket on the
first vertical chimney section above the tee. Install this assembly with
the tee take -off chimney section going through the wall thimble. Using
a level, plumb the vertical chimney section and attach the wall bracket.
Secure the wall support bracket to the outside wall using a minimum
of four #8 x 21/2" screws. It is recommended to endeavor securing wall
support brackets into framing members rather than sheeting only.
Further, secure the wall support bracket to the chimney section by
tightening the nut/bolt and use a minimum of three self drilling screws
through the pre -drilled holes of the wall support bracket band into the
chimney section. Install the tee cap onto the bottom of the tee using a
minimum of three self drilling screws.
Optional tee cleanout - If desired an additional chimney section may
be added to the bottom of the tee for chimney cleanout purposes. Then
simply add a tee cap to the bottom of the cleanout section. Ensure that
the cleanout tee and any added sections below for cleanout purposes
maintain the required 2 inch air space to combustibles.
STEP 5 - Trim plate and transition collar: From the interior, slide the
Finished Trim Plate Section of the Wall Pass Through (Thimble)over the
horizontal section of the chimney and secure it to the framed opening
using screws supplied. Secure the Universal Adapter (VA-UAxx) to the
end of the horizontal chimney section using a minimum of three self
drilling screws. NOTE: A Finishing Collar (VAFCxx) should be installed
over the universal adapter for appearance purposes only. The stove

connector pipe can now be secured to the universal adapter.
STEP 6 - Assembling the chimney: Attach the remaining chimney
sections above while still maintaining the required 2 inch air space to
combustibles. Use a minimum of three self drilling screws to attach per
joint. Wall support brackets will need to be installed no more than 8
feet apart along the vertical chimney length.
STEP 7 - Finish the installation
OPTION 1 - Non chase enclosed chimney: The final chimney height
should be determined using the specifications found on Page 3 under
the heading "Termination Above Roof." Based on final chimney height
determine if an extended roof brace will be needed. If so, follow the
instructions on Page 7 under the heading "Optional Extended Roof
Brace Installation."
OPTION 2 - A chase enclosed chimney: For installing the chimney
system in a chase application, the chimney must extend a minimum
of 6-inches above the chase cover. Please ensure that the chimney
exterior has the required 2 inch air space clearance from all chase
enclosure combustibles including the hole in the chase enclosure
top sheathing. The chase enclosure top can be finished using either
standard flat roofing materials or a custom fabricated metal chase
cover. Note 1: It is recommended, in colder climates, that exterior
mounted chimney systems are enclosed to help reduce or limit
condensation, creosote build-up and poor draft.
Note 2: It is recommended to provide some means of chase enclosure
ventilation This is usually accomplished by placing the storm collar
approximately 2 inches above the chase collar.
COMPLETION - Install a storm collar around the chimney and slide
down to fit against the roof flashing. Caulk the joint between the
chimney and the storm collar with a waterproof silicone sealant. Fit
the rain cap to the top of the chimney. Attach by tightening the clamp
band.

Roof supported installations are popular
in A-frame/Chalet type homes. In
roof supported installations, there are
typically two scenarios. One utilizes
a square or round cathedral ceiling
support and the second simply utilizes a
roof support bracket.
SCENARIO #1
CATHEDRAL CEILING SUPPORT
(Square or Round "Tall Style")
STEP 1- Position appliance: locate
appliance in accordance with the
appliance manufacturer's instructions
I
and clearance specifications. Pay i
particular attention to the outlet flue =r I --
collar of the appliance and endeavor i i Ro,
to position it between the rafters and Trii
joists above. Un1
STEP 2 - Frame rough opening: Cut i to
roof and ceiling openings as in the case ' Wa
of low attic installations. In the case
of cathedral ceilings a hole is only cut
through the roof. Please refer to Step 2
on Page 5 for ceiling openings and Step
5 on Page 6 for roof openings. Also, refer
to Table 1 on Page 5 for rough opening dimensions.
STEP 3 - Cathedral Ceiling support installation: Level the Ceiling
Support into the rough opening and secure to the framing using a
minimum of three 8-penny nails or three #8 x 1 1/2" wood screws per
side. Secure the trim collar using screws supplied with the collar. The
ceiling support must extend 3-inches below the ceiling. In most cases,
the cathedral ceiling support will extend above the roof opening. You
can either trim the support to be flush with the roof or slit the corners
of the square support and fold them down flat against the roof. Nail
flaps with 1-inch roofing nails.
STEP 4 - Finish the installation: Following steps 6 thru 8,
starting on page 6.
SCENARIO #2 - ROOF SUPPORT BRACKET
A roof support bracket type installation is used for cathedral ceilings
where a cathedral ceiling support is not preferred. This type of
installation involves Ventis Class -A chimney pipe being visible below
the ceiling level. NOTE: A roof support bracket can support no more
than a total of 45 feet of Ventis Class -A Chimney Pipe, and no more
than 20 feet below the roof support bracket.
STEP 1 - Position appliance: locate appliance in accordance with the
appliance manufacturer's instructions and clearance specifications.
Pay particular attention to the outlet flue collar of the appliance and
endeavor to position it between the rafters and joists above.
STEP 2 - The Roof Opening: Use a plumb bob to locate the center
of the roof opening as it corresponds to the center of the opening
below. Mark the location on the underside of the roof sheeting. Drill
a hole using a'/4" bit through the sheeting and shingles in order to
have an exterior visible reference. A reciprocating saw is helpful in
cutting the opening a minimum of 4-inches larger than the chimney's
outside diameter. This maintains the required minimum of 2-inch air
space clearance around the chimney. Note: The roof opening must
be sized to Table 1 on page 5 and framed out with the appropriate

STEP 3 - Secure roof support bracket: Secure the roof support bracket
to the roof using four 6-penny nails or four #8 x 1 '/z" screws per side.
Using one section of Ventis Class -A chimney, position it at the proper
height into the living space. Ensure that the chimney extends at least 3
inches below the ceiling level. Tighten the roof support bracket band
to that chimney section by tightening the nut bolt. Using a minimum of
four self drilling screws, screw the band to the chimney section.
STEP 4 - Assemble the Chimney: Attach the remaining chimney
sections above and below the roof level. Use a minimum of three self
drilling screws to attach per joint.
STEP 5 - Trim Collar - Slide trim collar over Ventis Class -A chimney and
attach to ceiling using screws provided. Attach universal adapter to
the lowest section of Ventis Class -A to attach connector pipe below.
Use a minimum of three self drilling screws. Note: a finishing collar
should be installed over the universal adapter for appearance purposes
only. Ensure the connector pipe maintains the proper clearance to
combustibles See Page 3.
STEP 1
POSITION APPLIANCE: locate appliance
in accordance with the appliance
manufacturer's instructions and clearance
specifications. Pay particular attention
to the outlet flue collar of the appliance
and endeavor to position it between the
rafters and joists above.
STEP 2
FRAME CEILING OPENING: use a plumb
bob from the ceiling to the center of the
appliance outlet flue collar and mark this
point on the ceiling above. (Refer to table
1 regarding rough framing dimensions for
each chimney diameter). Mark the ceiling
for proper rough opening and cut a hole
for the appropriate ceiling support. Frame

STEP 4
FRAME ADDITIONAL OPENINGS
(for multi -story installations): This is a required step for multi -floor
installations where the chimney must pass through additional ceilings
(floors). Using dimensions from Table 1 (p.5), frame out each ceiling
(floor) opening above the
support box. Use a plumb
bob to assist in locating
U01Widthdalliing n 5uppor, the corresponding four
corners of the opening
I Minimum of 3Inches above (If elbows are used
I Below Finished Calling
to offset an obstruction).
Wood Screws
Are Required Install a Firestop Radiation
Shield at each floor
penetration above the ceiling support including the opening into the
attic. The Firestop Radiation Shield is installed from the bottom of
the ceiling/floor rough opening with the tube section of the Firestop
pointing upwards. Secure the Firestop to the rough opening with a
minimum of one 8-penny nail or one #8 x 1 1/2" wood screw at each
corner. Adjust the inner tube of the Frestop upward to cover all framing
of the floor/ceiling rough opening. Secure the inner tube to the outer
tube using at least three
sheet metal screws.
`Adjustable Inner Tube NOTE: In the attic opening,
a Firestop and an attic
insulation shield extension
�— Framing will be used. A Firestop is not
to be installed at the roof
penetration.
ENCLOSURES: In a
multi -story installation,
Fireetop if the chimney passes
Radiation Shield through an occupied
space, which includes
j closets and occupied
attics, an enclosure must
be constructed around the chimney. The enclosure may be
constructed with standard framing and sheeting materials such
as sheet rock or plywood. Be sure to maintain 2-inches of air space
between the chimney and combustibles.
STEP 5
THE ROOF OPENING: Use a plumb bob to locate the center of the roof
opening as it corresponds to the center of the opening below. Mark
the location on the underside of the roof sheeting. Drill a hole using a
1/4" bit through the sheeting and shingles in order to have an exterior
visible reference.
A reciprocating saw is helpful in cutting the opening a minimum of
4-inches larger than the chimney's outside diameter. This maintains the
required minimum of 2-inch air space clearance around the chimney.
Note: The opening is round for flat roofs, but will be oval in shape for
pitched roofs.
STEP 6
ATTIC INSULATION SHIELDING: The purpose of Attic Insulation
Shielding is to maintain the required 2-inch air space clearance from
debris, electrical wiring and insulation when the chimney passes into an
attic. This vital step can be accomplished with three different methods:
OPTION 1- Usethis method when a standard round ceiling supportora
Firestop has been installed in the ceiling belowthe atticfloor. This method
requires an Attic Insulation Shield. In the attic, center the Attic Insulation Shield
overthe round ceiling support rough framed opening. Secure the four corners
of the Shield into the rough framed opening with four 8-penny nails or four #8 x
1 1/2" screws. Once the chimney sections are in place, a storm collar will be fitted
around a chimney section. Slide the storm collar down to fit against the Attic
Insulation Shield. This prevents debris from entering the cavity between the
chimney and the Attic Insulation Shield.
OPTION 2 - Use this method when a Square (See note below) or
Round Cathedral Ceiling Support (Tall Style) has been installed in the
ceiling below the attic floor. If the cathedral ceiling support extends 10
inches or more above the attic floor, this provides the necessary attic
insulation shielding. Once the chimney sections are in place, a storm
collar will be fitted around a chimney section. Slide the storm collar
down to fit against the cathedral ceiling support. This prevents debris
from entering the cavity between the chimney and the cathedral
ceiling support.
If the cathedral ceiling support does not extend 10 inches or more
above the attic floor, trim the square ceiling support to be flush with
the attic floor. Next, follow the instructions in Option 1 above.
NOTE: When using a Square Ceiling Support that extends into an
open attic space, it is necessary to install an Attic Insulation Shield
directly on top of the Support Box, securing it with four #8 X 1/2" self -
tapping screws. Then, slide the storm collar down to fit against the
Attic Insulation Shield. This prevents debris from entering the cavity
between the chimney and the Attic
Insulation Shield and Square Ceiling
Support Box.
Attic shielding enclosures:
In certain attic scenarios, typically
low attic installations, where the
Attic Insulation Shield will not fit, you
must enclose the attic portion of the
chimney in a framed enclosure. The
chimney within the enclosure must
maintain the required 2 inch air space
to combustibles.
`Universal Adapter
Round or Square
Gelling Support
STEP 7
ASSEMBLE THE CHIMNEY: Secure a universal adapter to the first
chimney section. Slide the first chimney section, female end down,
into the ceiling support assembly being used. Continue installing the
sections upwards using a minimum of three, #8 X 1/2" self drilling screws
per joint. Never use over -length screws that could penetrate the inner
lining of the chimney. The final chimney height should be determined
using the specifications found on Page 2 under the heading
"Termination Above Roof."
STEP 8
COMPLETING THE TOP TERMINATION:
Ensure that a 2-inch air space clearance to combustibles is maintained
as the chimney passes through the roof opening. It is recommended on
steep roof slopes or when the chimney height above the roof exceeds
5 feet, that a roof support bracket is used to assist in stabilizing and
leveling the chimney. Using a level, make sure the chimney is vertically
plumb.
Slide the roof flashing over the chimney and place the flashing under
the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the flashing to
the roof along the upper edge and down each side with 1-inch roofing
nails, but do not nail the lower edge. Seal the nail heads with a water-
proof silicone sealant.
Install a storm collar around the chimney and slide down to fit against
the roof flashing. Caulk the joint between the chimney and the storm
collar with a waterproof silicone sealant. NOTE: Do not caulk or seal the
ventilating openings of a ventilated flashing. Fit the rain cap to the top
of the chimney. Attach by tightening the
clam bandPush Storm Collar
p . Down to Flashing
and Seal with
Optional Extended Roof Brace Nog h Tam ening
Installation: If the chimney height 5illcona Kalarlt
extends more than 5 feet above the
roof line an extended roof brace 4; -
must be installed. The
chimney may not extend "
more than 5 feet above the
extended roof brace. If this does
occur, multiple extended roof braces
will be needed.
The extended roof brace consists of three parts. The chimney locking
band, brace legs and roof brackets.
1- Position the chimney locking band approximately 2/3 of the way up
the chimney. Secure the band by tightening the nut and bolt supplied.
2 - Fasten one end of the brace legs to the chimney locking
band. Adjust the length of the telescoping legs so that they form
approximately a 45 degree angle with the chimney and the two braces
should be approximately 90 degrees apart. Mark these two locations
on the roof.
3 - Mount the two roof brackets at the two locations marked above.
Use six 1-inch roofing nails per bracket and seal the nail heads with a
water proof silicone sealant.
4 - Secure the brace legs to the roof brackets using the nuts and bolts
provided.
5 - Ensure that there is at least 3-inches of overlap between the two
sections of each brace leg. There is a hole provided in the outer half
of the brace leg. Using the hole provided, drill a 1/4" hole completely
through the inner and outer sections. Use the nut and bolt supplied to
pin both sections of the adjustable brace legs.
6 - With final adjustments and tightening of all hardware, use three
self drilling screws to further secure the chimney locking band to the
chimney section.
Optional Offset/Elbow Installation: Since a completely vertical
chimney provides optimal draft it is best to avoid elbows if at all
possible. However, when elbows are necessary to avoid obstructions
such as joists, rafters, etc. use no more than two pairs of elbows (total
of four elbows) and do not exceed a maximum angle of 30 degrees.
Refer to Table 2 to determine what elbows and chimney sections
will be needed for the
Example of required offset.

is useful to obtain exact length
desired. Secure the section to the elbow
with a minimum of three self drilling screws.
3 - Install the second elbow to return the chimney to vertical.
Secure the elbow to the chimney section with a minimum of three self

4 - An offset support bracket or a roof support bracket must be
installed above each offset to support the chimney weight above the
offset. NOTE: After the offset, use a level to ensure that the chimney
returns to vertical.

Installation Instructions
A MAJOR CAUSE OF CHIMNEY RELATED FIRES IS FAILURE
TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR SPACES) TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT THIS DOUBLE WALL CONNECTOR BE INSTALLED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Read through these instructions before beginning your installation. Failure to install
according to these instructions will void the manufacturer's warranty and may have an effect
on your homeowner's insurance and UL Listing status.
Keep these instructions for future reference.
INTENDED USE OF PRODUCT
This close clearance connector is intended for use with solid, liquid and gas fired appliances,
including wood and coal burning stoves, freestanding fireplaces and furnaces. It may be used
in any instance where single wall stovepipe is called for.
LISTED CLEARANCE
Ventis Black Double Wall was tested by and is Listed with Underwriter's Laboratories as
a close clearance connector pipe between (listed) appliance and chimney. The minimum
clearance from pipe to combustible surfaces is 6 inches to combustible side walls and 8
inches to combustible ceilings.
CLEARANCE COMPATABILITY
Solid fuel appliances have a minimum clearance to combustible construction. The minimum
clearance on the appliance must be adhered to. If two clearances are in conflict, always use
the larger clearance distance. Certain applications, such as mobile homes, sometimes require
clearances greater than 6 inches.
PERMITS
Contact local Building and Fire Officials about permits, restrictions and installation
inspection in your area.
RECOMMENDATIONS & LIMITATIONS
• Every wood burning stove requires its own separate connector. Connect only one solid
fuel burning appliance to a chimney. Do not connect an oil or gas burning appliance to a
chimney venting a solid fuel burning appliance.
• Choose a stove that is listed by a recognized testing agency.
• For installation and operation, follow the stove manufacturer's instructions and safety
manual for maximum efficiency and safety. Over firing can damage both stove and double
wall connector pipe. Be certain to maintain required clearances to combustible materials.
• Burn only the fuels your stove is designed to burn according to the manufacturer's
instructions and safety manual.
• Do not burn sea driftwood, treated lumber, or plastic.
• Not all stoves can be used in Mobile Homes. See manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not enclose Ventis Black Double Wall connector pipe.
• This connector is not a chimney. It must NOT pass through floors, attics, closets, walls,
or ceilings.
VENTIS BLACK MAINTENANCE
Warning for Solid Fuel Applications
Creosote and Soot -Formation and Need for Removal:
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow -burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
VENTIS BLACK CLEANING
• Access — Double wall connector pipe must be installed so that access is provided for inspection and
cleaning.
• Schedule — The connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every month during the
heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
• Cleaning — Have your connector and chimney cleaned by a professional chimney sweep. Use a
plastic, wood, or steel brush.
• Coal — To reduce corrosion in connectors and chimneys where coal is burned, clean the chimney
thoroughly within 48 hours of shutting down the stove for the season. Check the chimney lining
for sulfuric acid corrosion regularly.
• Chemicals — Do not use chemical cleaners. Their use does not eliminate the need for mechanical
cleaning and they may be highly corrosive.
• In Case of Fire — If a flue fire occurs, close all appliance draft openings and call your Fire
Department. Do not use the appliance again until the chimney, connector and stove have been
inspected by a qualified chimney sweep and/or Fire Department Inspector.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Have your chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or Fire Department Inspector
before connecting to it for use. Masonry chimneys should only be used if they are in good
condition and have been built according to NFPA 211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel -Burning Appliances).
1. There should be a horizontal opening into the chimney through a non-combustible
wall. Fit the Masonry Adapter (VDB-MA) into this hole. Attach the adapter collar
to the masonry wall using screws and masonry anchors (not supplied). Seal the joint
between the collar and the masonry wall with a high temperature silicone caulking.
2. When installing Ventis Black Double Wall into a re -lined masonry chimney, follow the
procedure as above, making sure the masonry adapter slides onto the tee take -off by at
least 2 inches. Firmly attach using 3 self -tapping screws.
3. Attach connector pipe to appliance using instructions above.
