Connecting to a New Factory-made Chimney
A properly sized and installed chimney flue will ensure adequate draft at all times for optimum performance
of the furnace. For a new chimney, use an insulated stainless steel system that conforms to type HT (High
Temperature) requirements of UL 103 and ULC S629
and complies with the requirements of Chapter 11 of
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances.
The factory-made chimney can be routed straight-up through the roof or routed through a side-wall and then
straight-up. The height of the chimney must be at least 12 feet (3.7 m).
Furnace Min Flue Diameter
Frontier CX 5 inches (12.7 cm)
Warning: Solid wood burning furnaces should NOT be side vented.
When installing a new
chimney flue, be sure to
observe local building
codes and the National
Fire Protection
Association rule: The
top of the chimney must
extend at least 3.0 feet
(0.9m) above the
highest point where it
exits the roof and be at
least 2.0 feet (0.6m)
taller than any point of
the roof within 10.0 feet
(3.04m).
