DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
A  non-combustible  oor  protector  is  required  under  all  freestanding  units;  refer  to  “CLearanCes  to 
CombustibLes”. When venting into a masonry chimney, the oor protector must be installed directly below 
the chimney vent and 2” (50.8 mm) on either side of the chimney vent.
Vent the stove into a clean, lined,  approved masonry chimney in  good condition, conforming to local 
building codes and meeting the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). 
Make  sure  there  are no  cracks,  loose  mortar or  other  signs  of  deterioration  and  blockage.  Have  the 
chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated, or vent with a listed 6” (150 mm) factory-
built chimney suitable for use with solid fuels and conforming to ULC-S629 Standard for 650°C factory-
Built Chimneys in CANADA or UL 103 HT Factory-Built Chimneys for Residential Type and Building Heating 
Appliances in the U.S.A. Connect the stove to this chimney with a short and straight 6” (150 mm), 24 
gauge or heavier, single-wall black or blued steel smoke pipe. Connection to all masonry chimneys must 
be a metal or masonry thimble cemented in place. All smoke pipes must slope upwards, all connections 
must be tight and secured with three sheet metal screws equally spaced. The smoke pipe length should 
not exceed 40% of the chimney height above the stove. 
When  connecting  the  stove  through  a  combustible  wall  to  a  masonry  chimney,  additional  steps  are 
required. Consult the chimney connector manufacturer and refer to Figure 17.
