Installation Notes
The TWENTY6 FI must be installed by a qualified installer per the Solas manual, with two 3 in. liners run 10 to 36 ft up the existing chimney to a vertical cap and restrictor settings matched to the vent length. Horizontal termination is not allowed. In New York City, gas work requires a licensed master plumber and permits, and the chimney should be inspected before relining. Book a free design consultation and we will check your fireplace and chimney before you order.
