The National Standard of Canada, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances

and Equipment, CSA-B365-01 clause 5.2.9 states that:

Two or more appliances shall not be connected to the same chimney flue unless:

1. The appliances are located on the same story;

2. A negative pressure is maintained at the flue collar of each appliance;

3. Each appliance is provided with a means to control the rate of flow of air or flue

gases through the appliance combustion and heat exchanger chambers. Where

limitations on flue pressure (draft) are contained in the manufacturer’s

instructions, such means shall be capable of maintaining at the flue collar, the

pressure specified by the appliance manufacture; NOTE: For the purpose of this

Clause, draft controls include ash pit air control dampers, dampers or draft slides

wherever located, over fire and flue key pipe dampers, and check draft controls

located on or in the flue pipe.

4. The flue pipes of the appliances are connected to a manifold as close to the

chimney as practicable or directly to the chimney in the following order:

(i) If only solid fuel is used, the flue pipe from the smallest appliance shall be

on top (downstream);

(ii) If different fuels are used as permitted in Clause 5.2.7, the oil flue pipe

shall be on top (downstream); and the solid fuel flue pipe on the bottom

(upstream); and

5. The chimney flue is capable of venting the flue gas by natural draft when all

appliances not interlocked to prevent simultaneous firing are firing at their

maximum rate at the same time.

When installing a wood-burning appliance to an existing chimney carefully inspect entire

chimney for the presence of old inlet holes, which may be improperly covered by metal

caps or other unacceptable means. Fill any openings with brick and mortar to ensure

no hazardous openings exist.
