Solution 1.6 Installation and Operation Manual

 

39

 

Double wall chimney connectors are tested and certified. The rules for double wall pipe are found 
in  the  manufacturer’s  installation  instructions.  These  rules  will  be  very  different  than  those  for 
single wall. 

8.6.1  Installation of Single Wall Chimney Connector 

The  chimney  connector  assembly  has  been  called  ‘the  weak  link’  in  the  safety  of  wood  heating 
systems because failure to install the connector properly (which has been common in the past) can 
result in house fires.  

The best flue pipe assembly is 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. 

 

 

Use 45 degree elbows where possible, instead of 90 degree elbows. 

The  rules  below  are  based  on  those  found  in  the  CSA  B365  installation  code.  Please  carefully 
follow these installation instruction rules, or those enforced where you live.
