The CAS system is available for the DuraPlus HTC chimney system. CLEARANCES Always follow the required clearance to combustibles for the vent or chimney system you are installing. DuraPlus HTC chimney pipe requires a minimum of 2” clearance to any combustible. Never fill any required clearance space with insulation or any other materials. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, lumber, plywood, sheetrock, plaster and lath, furniture, curtains, electrical wiring, and building insulation. The CAS Triple-Wall Stovepipe must have 6" clearance from walls and combustibles (running vertically) and 8" clearance from ceilings and combustibles (running horizontally). PERMITS Contact your local Building Official or Fire Official regarding permits, restrictions, and installation inspections in your area.

You must use only authorized DuraVent CAS parts and related chimney components to maintain a safe, approved system. Do not mix parts or try to match with other products or use improvised solutions. Do not install damaged or modified parts. Practice good workmanship. Sloppy work could jeopardize your chimney’s safety. Keep electrical wiring and building insulation away from all chimneys. When deciding the location of your installation, try to avoid modifications to roof beams and other structural components of the building. If you have any questions, contact either your dealer or DuraVent directly. APPLIANCE RECOMMENDATIONS Always follow the stove manufacturer’s installation instructions. Installation: Install your stove or appliance as described by the appliance manufacturer. Be sure to maintain all required clearances. Flues: Connect only one appliance per chimney. Operation: Follow the appliance safety manual for maximum efficiency and safety. Do not over fire the appliance. Any damage to the appliance or chimney can possibly void your warranties and cause a fire hazard. Fuels: Only burn approved fuels as specified by your appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Do not burn driftwood, plastic, or chemically treated wood such as railroad ties. They are corrosive to your chimney system.
