8.2.2 Factory-built Metal Chimneys in
mobile homes
For use in a mobile home, this stove is to be
connected to a 6” in diameter double wall
factory built chimney conforming to
CAN/UCL-S629, Standards for 650°C
Factory-built chimney. The total length of the
flue system should be at least 12 feet
including elbows, from the top of the stove.
To maintain an effective vapour barrier,
insulation and waterproof at the chimney and
outside flue pipe, install a mobile home roof
flashing and seal it with silicone.
8.2.3 Masonry Chimneys
The stove may also be connected to a
masonry chimney, provided the chimney
complies with the construction rules found
in the building code enforced locally. The
chimney must have either a clay liner or a
suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the
masonry chimney has a square or
rectangular liner that is larger in cross
sectional area than a round 6” flue, it
should be relined with a suitably listed 6”
stainless steel liner. Do not downsize the
flue to less than 6” unless the venting
system is straight and exceeds 25 feet in
height. When passing through a
combustible wall, the use of an insulated
listed thimble is required.
