roof ridge, the chimney must
be 2 feet (60.9 cm) above the
ridge. Refer to Figure 13.
Note: Increasing the chimney
height above the roof may
help your unit to draft better.
This greater draft can decrease
problems such as difficult
start-ups, smoke coming out
when door is open, and dirty
glass. You may initially try
the minimum required height
and if problems do arise, add
additional height later.
10. Slide the roof flashing over
your chimney and seal the
flashing to the roof with a
roofing compound. Secure the
roof flashing to your roof with
nails or screws.

flashing and seal the joints
with silicone caulking.
12. Fasten the rain cap / spark

pipe with the lower (crimped) edge of the pipe inside the flue collar. Any creosote formed will then run
back down into the stove. All connections must be tight and secured with three sheet metal screws
equally spaced. Double wall pipe is recommended over single wall.
15. Also install an outside air flex pipe to the stove.
IMPORTANT: When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions
must be followed. You must also purchase and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through
and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.
Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be
the required height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft operation.
Note: If you are using a horizontal connector (refer to Figure 15), the chimney connector
should be as high as possible while still maintaining the 18” (475 mm) minimum
distance from the horizontal connector to the ceiling.
