SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM)
2.1 DEFINITIONS
For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions:
•
A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne
y
, which
attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house.
•
A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry construction with an inside liner), or a
factory built chimney.
•
A factory built chimney can be a double wall chimney (two concentric pipes with insulation
- sometimes referred to as an insulated solid pack ) or an air cooled chimney (three
concentric pipes, with insulation between the first and second pipes, and air between the
second and third pipes).
•
A single wall connector is a single pipe.
•
A double wall connector has two concentric pipes, no insulation, and is an air cooled
connector.
2.2 CHIMNEY
CAUTION:
•
DO NOT fill any framed space around the factory-built chimney with insulation or any other
material. Insulation placed in this area could cause adjacent combustibles to overheat.
•
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation as they may be safety hazards, and a
fire could result.
•
Do not connect this unit to a chimney system serving another appliance.
•
Do not cut rafters or ceiling joists without first consulting a building official to ensure
structural integrity is not compromised.
Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a
factory built chimney, it must comply with UL103 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. It must
therefore be a 6” (152mm) HT Type (2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed
