2.3 CHIMNEY
NEVER INSTALL A SINGLE WALL SLIP SECTION OR SMOKE PIPE IN A CHASE STRUCTURE. THE HIGHER
TEMPERATURE OF THIS SINGLE WALL PIPE MAY RADIATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO COMBUSTIBLE
CHASE MATERIALS TO CAUSE A FIRE.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
TO AVOID DANGER OF FIRE, ALL INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
PROVISION OF AIR SPACE CLEARANCE BETWEEN CHIMNEY SYSTEM AND ENCLOSURE. TO
PROTECT AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF CORROSION ON THOSE PARTS EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER, WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE CHASE TOP BE PAINTED WITH A RUST-RESISTANT PAINT.
DO NOT FILL ANY FRAMED SPACE AROUND THE CHIMNEY WITH INSULATION OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL.
INSULATION PLACED IN THIS AREA COULD CAUSE ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES TO OVERHEAT.
MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 2" AIR CLEARANCE TO ALL PARTS OF THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM AT ALL TIMES.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THIS 2" AIR CLEARANCE WILL CAUSE A STRUCTURE FIRE. NEVER FILL THIS
SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE CHASE TOP, STORM COLLAR AND
TERMINATION CAP ARE PACKAGED WITH THESE PARTS.
DO NOT CUT RAFTERS OR CEILING JOISTS WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING A BUILDING OFFICIAL
TO ENSURE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS NOT COMPROMISED.
FIRESTOP SPACERS MUST BE USED WHENEVER THE CHIMNEY PENETRATES A CEILING/FLOOR AREA.
THE TOTAL HORIZONTAL VENT LENGTH SHOULD NOT EXCEED 40% OF THE CHIMNEY HEIGHT
ABOVE THE STOVE. ALL HORIZONTAL SMOKE PIPE MUST SLOPE SLIGHTLY UPWARDS A MINIMUM
OF 1/4” PER FOOT AND ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE TIGHT AND SECURED BY THREE SHEET
METAL SCREWS EQUALLY SPACED. AN UNINSULATED SMOKE PIPE SHALL NOT PASS THROUGH
AN ATTIC, ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR THROUGH A FLOOR,
CEILING, WALL OR PARTITION, OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT USE ANY MAKESHIFT MATERIALS DURING INSTALLATION.

WARNING
Your appliance may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built
chimney, it must comply with ULCS629 (Canada) or UL103 (USA) standards. It must therefore be a 6" HT Type
(2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifi cations.
The manufacturer's installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance
with local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be fol-
lowed. In the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.
Chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.
