Product Usage Instructions
Installation:
Before starting the project, carefully read and understand the instructions
provided. Ensure that safety precautions are followed.
This chimney system is designed for installation by a qualified person in
compliance with local building codes.
Handling:
Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling metal parts to prevent personal
injury. Be cautious of sharp edges or projections that can cause cuts.
Assembly:
- Adjust the worm gear clamp to fit over the outer diameter of the insulated chimney length.
- Insert the Dikapt inside the insulated chimney length.
- Place the retainer loop and worm gear clamp around the outside of the insulated chimney length.
- Ensure the storm collar of the Dikapt is fully seated flush to the top of the chimney male end.
- Tighten the worm gear clamp securely around the insulated chimney length. The clamp can be adjusted within the retainer loop.
Maintenance:
Regularly inspect the Dikapt for creosote or soot build-up. If a significant
layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm / 1/8 inch), it needs to be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Have your chimney and Dikapt inspected and
cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep.
FAQ:
Q: How often should I inspect my Dikapt for build-up?
A: It is recommended to inspect your Dikapt regularly for any creosote or
soot build-up. If a significant layer has accumulated, it should be promptly
removed to prevent chimney fire risks.
Q: Can I install the chimney system myself?
A: The chimney system is designed for installation by a qualified person
in accordance with local building codes. It is recommended to seek
professional assistance for proper installation.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE PROJECT. REMEMBER THAT SAFETY COMES FIRST. OUR CHIMNEY SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION BY A QUALIFIED PERSON IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL BUILDING CODES.

- Tighten securely the worm gear clamp around the insulated chimney length. The worm gear clamp can be moved up or down within the retainer loop.
ATTENTION: The Dikapt should be inspected regularly to determine if a creosote or soot build-up has occurred:
