Venting Components & Configuration
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
There is a possibility
of generating carbon monoxide (CO) with most fuels,
including to a minimal extent, wood. A properly
maintained and operated woodstove and venting will
eliminate the chance of this occurring. Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with
headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If your home
fills with smoke, or if you have the listed symptoms,
evacuate everyone to fresh air immediately! As a
safety precaution, install a CO monitor in, or near,
each room wherever any fuel burning heating unit or
appliance operates.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE!
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, also may 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 arrestor is
required. (See page 17)
Chimney connector will 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 beginning on
page 9. The single wall clearances are generic;
the Double wall clearances are for Simpson
Dura Vent DVL.
Check The Specifications From The
Manufacturer Of Your Connector.

The complete venting system consists of two
components, the
chimney connector
and a
chimney
.
Both these components become extremely hot during
use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed
2,000 F (1093 degrees C) in the event of a creosote
fire.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the
chimney and stovepipe must be properly installed
and maintained. Ensure the venting system is
consistently in good condition. Replace rusted,
cracked, or broken components.
A thimble is required when a connection is made
through a combustible wall to the chimney. A wall
pass-through, or chimney support package, is used
when a connection is made through a wall or ceiling
to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are
absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to
combustible wall and ceiling material.
This stove can be connected to a lined masonry
chimney or an approved high temperature
prefabricated, residential type building heating
appliance chimney. DO NOT connect this stove to a
chimney serving another appliance, as doing so will
affect the safe operation of both appliances.

NOTE:
The chimney connector cannot pass
through an attic, roof space, closet or similar
concealed space, or a floor or ceiling. Where
passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform to NFPA 211 or
CAN/CSA-B365.
Use only 6” (152 mm) diameter, 24-gauge stovepipe
for the chimney connector.
Do not use aluminum,
or galvanized steel pipe
, as they cannot properly
withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire.
Do not use stovepipe as a chimney.
You must
connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those
recommended in this manual. Stovepipe (the
chimney connector) is used only to connect the stove
to a proper chimney.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OR DUCT.

Attach the stovepipe sections to the stove and to
each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If
creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run
into the stove, and not on the outside of the
stovepipe, onto the stove, or on the floor.
Secure all joints, including the connection where the
stovepipe attaches to the stove’s flue collar, with
three sheet metal screws. Failure to properly secure
