Introduction
INSTALLATION
Venting
Guidelines
This
wood
stove
operates
on
a
natural
draft
system,
in
which
the
chimney
system
pulls
air
through
the
stove.
This
unit
must
be
installed
in
accordance
with
the
following
detailed
descriptions
of
venting
techniques;
not
installing
the
stove
in
accordance
with
the
details
listed
here
can
result
in
poor
stove
performance,
property
damage,
bodily
injury
or
death.
Avoid
make
‐
shift
compromises
when
installing
the
venting
system.
England’s
Stove
Works
is
not
responsible
for
any
damage
incurred
due
to
a
poor
or
unsafe
installation.
Be
certain
that
all
aspects
of
the
venting
system
are
installed
to
the
venting
manufacturer’s
instructions,
particularly
the
required
clearances
to
combustibles.
Also,
be
certain
to
use
an
attic
radiation
shield
to
prevent
insulation
from
contacting
a
chimney
which
passes
through
an
attic.
The
chimney
system
is
the
“engine”
which
drives
a
wood
stove,
so
it
is
imperative
for
proper
unit
function
that
the
venting
system
be
installed
exactly
as
described
in
the
following
section.
If
questions
arise
pertaining
to
the
safe
installation
of
the
stove,
our
Technical
Support

is
available.
Contact
your
local
code
official
to
be
certain
your
installation
meets
local
and
national
fire
codes,
and
if
you’re
uncertain
about
how
to
safely
install
the
stove,
we
strongly
recommend
contacting
a
local
NFI
certified
installer
to
perform
the
installation.

•
INSTALL
three
sheet
metal
screws
at
every
chimney
connector
joint.
•
AVOID
excessive
horizontal
runs
and
elbows,
as
both
will
reduce
the
draft
of
the

system
and
will
result
in
poor
stove
performance.
•
INSPECT
your

it
is
clear
of
creosote,
