consists of three walls of metal, using air and woven ceramic
fiber blanket insulation. The inner and intermediate walls are
stainless steel, and the outer wall is galvanized steel. This
chimney is listed (UL 103 TYPE HT) for venting flue gases
not exceeding 1000°F under continuous operating
conditions. In addition, UL has conducted additional tests at
1400°F for one hour and 2100°F for 10 minutes to verify
compliance with UL test standards. The Model HS/HSS all-
fuel chimney is approved, accepted, or listed by UL, NFPA,
IMC and UMC.
