WARNING
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 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 PROVISIONS 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 CONSTRUCTION.
DO NOT USE ANY MAKESHIFT MATERIALS DURING INSTALLATION.

4.1 CHIMNEY
Your appliance may be connected to a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built
chimney, it must comply with ULCS629 (Canada) or UL103 HT (USA) standards. It must therefore be a 6" HT
Type (2100°F) chimney. Use only specifi ed components with no substitutions. 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 followed. 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.
