Your High Valley Model 1600 must be connected to either a factory-built Type HT chimney or to a masonry chimney with a
fl
ue
liner of a construc on that meets all current code requirements. If the wood heater is to be connected to an exis ng chimney,
have the chimney inspected prior to installing the wood heater by an NFI cer
fi
ed hearth installer, a CSIA chimney sweep, or
a quali
fi
ed mason in the case of a masonry chimney. The chimney must prove to be sound and serviceable and to meet all
applicable codes. An exis ng factory-built chimney must be Type HT with a minimum 6" (152mm) and maximum 8" (203mm)
fl
ue diameter. An exis ng masonry chimney must have a clay le liner or approved stainless steel insulated liner. The wall
thimble or pass-through construc on should be inspected to ensure it conforms to current NFPA 211 guidelines. The
fl
ue size
must not be less than the
fl
ue collar (6" or 152mm) or greater than three mes (3X) the cross-sec on of the
fl
ue collar. NOTE:
An oversize masonry chimney may not prove to provide adequate dra and may require the installa on of an insulated liner
approved to UL 1777 to func on sa sfactorily.
If a new chimney is to be constructed to vent the wood heater we strongly advise that the chimney be professionally installed.
Factory-built chimney must be Type HT-2100°F tested to the UL 103 standard and/or ULC S629 standard. A six inch (6") diam-
eter factory-built chimney is preferred. All components of the factory-built chimney must be from the same manufacturer
and be of the same type to ensure proper connection of components. All chimney components needed for the installation
including but not limited to wall pass-throughs, tees and tee supports, ceiling supports, insulation shields, fire stops, roof
support packages, roof flashings, chimney caps, etc. must be installed exactly to the manufacturer's instructions. Installation
specification and clearances may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and must be carefully adhered to according to the
individual manufacturer's instructions.
If a new masonry chimney is to be constructed we strongly recommend the use of a professional masonry contractor. Spe-
cialized knowledge is needed to ensure proper construction and support for a masonry chimney. The chimney must be
constructed in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA standard 211 and must conform to all applicable state and local
codes. Wall thimble construction and clearances to combustibles must meet NFPA 211 guidelines. A permit and inspection
may be required by the local Building Official, Fire Official, or other Authority Having Jurisdiction. A six inch (6") round or 8" x
8" square flue tile is required. The flue tiles must be mortared together with the approved material and provided with an air
space as required by NFPA 211 and applicable codes.
The following informa on about chimney construc on and requirements is intended for reference only. The use of a profes-
sional installer is strongly recommended. Speci

c installa on instruc ons and/or requirements must conform to the chimney
manufacturer's instruc ons and/or applicable building codes. Seek the advice of your High Valley Dealer and/or the local
Authority Having Jurisdic on as to local code, permi ng, and inspec on requirements.
