Solution 1.6 Installation and Operation Manual

 

8  The Venting System 

8.1  General  

The venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the 
chimney,  acts  as  the  engine  that  drives  your  wood  heating  system.  Even  the  best  stove  will  not 
function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney.  

The heat in the flue gases that pass from the stove and chimney connector into the chimney is not 
waste  heat.  This  heat  is  what  the  chimney  uses  to  make  the  draft  that  draws  in  combustion  air, 
keeps smoke inside the stove and safely vents exhaust to outside. You can think of heat in the flue 
gas as the fuel the chimney uses to make draft. 

 

8.2  Suitable Chimneys 

Your  wood  stove  will  provide  optimum  efficiency  and  performance  when  connected  to  a  6-inch 
diameter chimney flue system. The connection to a chimney having a diameter of at least 5 inches 
(Canada only) or no more than 7 inches is permitted, if it allows the proper venting of combustion 
gases  and  that  such  application  is  verified  and  authorized  by  a  qualified  installer.  Otherwise,  the 
diameter of the flue should be 6 inches. 

To be suitable, a factory-built metal chimney must comply with UL 103 HT (U.S.A.) or ULC S629 
(Canada).  

8.2.1  Factory-built Metal Chimneys 

These  are  sometimes  referred  to  as  ‘high  temp’ 
chimneys  because  they  have  the  special 
characteristics  to  withstand  the  temperatures  that 
can  be  created  by  wood  burning  stoves.  Factory-
built chimneys are tested as a system with all the 
necessary  components  for  installation.  The 
instructions  provided  with  the  chimney  by  its 
manufacturer  are  the  only  reliable  source  of 
installation  guidelines.  To  be  safe  and  effective, 
the  chimney  must  be  installed  exactly  in 
accordance  with  the  manufacturer’s  instructions. 
Use  only  components  intended  for  the  brand 
and  model  of  chimney  you  are  using.  Never 
substitute parts from other chimney brands or 
fabricate  your  own  components.  The  chimney 
must be a type suitable for solid fuel.
