INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
Masonry chimney***
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards
(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. 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.
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry
chimney, special methods are needed.
In Canada, the wall cut away is to provide 18” clearance for the
connector. Th
e resulting space must remain empty. A fl ush mounted
sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers are to be
used on both sides, each cover must be mounted on noncombustible
spacers at least 1” clear of the wall.
***Blaze King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner,
preferably insulated, inside a masonry chimney. Th
is to maintain
proper draft and overall better operation of the unit.
Your local dealer or local jurisdiction can provide details of
approved methods of passing a chimney connector through
a combustible wall in your area. In USA, the National Fire
Protection Association has minimum standards to comply
with. In Canada , this type of installation must conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances and Equipment.
