Installation and Operation Manual - Cape Town 1800

ENGLISH

9.2.2 Masonry 

Chimneys

The stove may also be connected to a masonry 

chimney, provided the chimney complies with the 

construction rules found in the building code enforced 

locally. The chimney must have either a clay liner or 

a suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the masonry 

chimney has a square or rectangular liner that is 

larger in cross-sectional area than a round 6" flue, 

it should be relined with a suitably listed 6" stainless 

steel liner. Do not downsize the flue to less than 6" 

unless the venting system is straight and exceeds 25 

feet in height. When passing through a combustible 

wall, the use of an insulated listed thimble is required.

9.2.3 

Rear vent installation

From the factory the stove is prepared for top mounting 

of the flue collar, but this stoves have an optional rear 

flue outlet, therefore the flue collar can be fitted either on 

the top or at the rear as required. 

Rear venting into a masonry or steel chimney through a 

thimble vent configuration or other than described here 

must follow local codes or NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA_B365 

guidelines and methods.
