This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or
the stove top. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal
screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more
than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36" and a recommended total length of single wall
stove pipe connector should not exceed 10 feet. Connector pipe over 10 feet must be double wall from
the stove collar (not mixed with single wall except at a masonry thimble per manufacturer's installation
guide). Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼ inch per foot toward the chimney. Note the connector
pipe should not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor or
ceiling.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE OR AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR ANY
SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
For venting vertically into a Class A chimney, single wall pipe (at least 24 gauge) may be used in the
room where the stove is installed. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the connection to the listed
chimney. The chimney / chimney connector must not be smaller than 6" (15 cm) in diameter. For venting
directly into a masonry chimney or through a thimble, the top of the single wall pipe must be at least 18"
(46 cm) below a combustible ceiling and conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365 guidelines and
methods. See diagram below.
For rear venting or other not listed configurations, consult the local building codes and follow the NFPA
211 or CAN/CSA-B365 guidelines. If the chimney connector is fitted with a baffle, it must be manually
operated, visibly placed for ease of use, and must not close completely. Consult your chimney expert if
you have any questions.
Make sure that there is easy access to the chimney clean-out door.
Read the instructions on the following page carefully before connecting: “Chimney
Connector Systems and Clearances from Combustible Walls for Residential Heating
Appliances”.
