Stovepipe Chimney
Connection Requirements
1) The stovepipe chimney connector should be made of 24
gauge or thicker sheet metal and should be 6" in
(15.24cm) diameter.
2) The last section of the chimney connector starting from
the stove should be screwed to the flue collar of the
stove. Individual sections of the chimney connector must
be screwed together with at least three sheet metal
screws. The last section should be securely attached to
the chimney. Be sure there are no "weak links" in the
system.
3) The crimped ends of pipe sections should point down-
ward toward the stove so that any soot or creosote that
falls from the inside of the pipe will be funnelled into a
clean out or fall into the stove.
4) The chimney connector should be at least the height of
the warming shelf before a 90 degree turn is installed,
with no more than two 90 degree turns.
5) A horizontal run of stovepipe should be no longer than 4
ft (1.22m). A vertical run of stovepipe to a prefabricated
metal chimney should be no longer than 8 ft (2.44m).
6) Do not pass the stovepipe chimney connector through
a combustible wall if it can be avoided. If this cannot
be avoided, follow the recommended in CSA B365 in
Canada and NFPA 211 in the U.S., recommendation on
Wall Pass-Throughs.
7) Do not use single wall smokepipe as an outside chim-
ney.
8) Never pass stovepipe chimney connector through a
combustible ceiling.
9) The whole chimney connector should be exposed and
accessible for inspection and cleaning.
10) Galvanized stovepipe should not be used. When ex-
posed to the temperatures reached by smoke and
exhaust gases, galvanized pipe may release toxic
fumes.
11) Horizontal runs of chimney connector should slope
upward
1
⁄
4
" (6.35 mm) per foot going from the stove
toward the chimney.
12) During a chimney fire, the chimney connector may
vibrate violently. The connector must be securely
attached to the pipe and chimney, and individual
sections must be securely attached together.
13) This stove is not to be connected to an air distribution
duct.
CHIMNEYS AND DRAFT
Recommended Chimney Clearances
The chimney must:
• extend at least 14 ft. (4.27m) above the collar of the
stove;
• extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm) above the point where it
passes through the roof;
• be at least 2 ft. above anything within a 10 ft. (3.048m)
radius of the top of the pipe.
Good draft in a cold chimney should be between
0.01" and 0.15" "water column" (your dealer may be
able to check this for you).
