•
Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued
steel stovepipe.
•
Double wall connector (close clearance pipe) which
must be used with a listed factory-built “Type HT"
chimney and may also be used with a masonry
chimney to reduce clearances, is available from
several manufacturers, your dealer can help you
choose. Some air insulated connector pipe models
available are Simpson Dura Vent DVL and
Metalbestos DS. Security, GSW and Ameritec also
have acceptable close clearance connector pipe.
•
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester is
required. (See page 14)
•
Chimney connector shall not pass through floor or
ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space. Where passage through a wall or
partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA
- B365.
•
It is very important to follow minimum clearances for
chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and
ceilings when installing the stove near non-
combustible surfaces. Typical chimney connector
clearances are outlined below. The single wall
clearances are generic; the Double wall clearances are
for Simpson Dura Vent DVL,

The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall pass-
through, chimney, and liner. It is
absolutely necessary
that you install all of these components within the
clearances to combustibles discussed earlier to install
your stove safely.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you
must
properly install and constantly maintain the venting
system
. Upon inspection, immediately replace rusted,
cracked, or broken components.
