9.5 Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar
and the chimney breech.
Double wall chimney connectors are tested and certified. The rules concerning installation are
found in the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Single wall pipe components are available from most hardware and building supply stores.
These components are usually not tested to a particular standard and certified as compliant.
Therefore, a list of rules found in solid fuel installation codes apply to the installation of single
wall pipe.
9.5.1 Installation configuration
The best installation configuration is the one that rises straight up from the stove to the base of
the chimney with no elbows. Straight assemblies are less likely to cause problems like smoke
roll-out when the door is opened for loading. They are also more stable and easier to maintain
than assemblies with elbows. Horizontal runs of flue pipe should be avoided where possible
because they reduce chimney draft.
