2.  Once the through-the-wall thimble 

codes are met, simply connect the 
chimney pipe to the wall pass-
through connector using #24 ga. 
minimum, blued or black steel pipe 
as follows: 

 

(a) Maintain 1/4" rise per foot 

(horizontal length) from the 
appliance to the chimney. 

(b)  Each section of pipe should fit 

into the section below or into 
the opening on the stove, for 
drip free operation. 

(c) Secure each section to each 

other using at least three (3) 
sheet metal screws or rivets. 

(d)  Use three (3) screws to connect 

pipe to New Buck Corp. 
Chimney Connector. 

 

Ceiling Exit—Close Clearance 

1.  Suspend a plumb bob from the 

ceiling above the unit so that the 
weight is hanging in the center of 
the flue exit. (A small weight on a 
string will serve as a plumb bob.) 
Mark the ceiling where the string is 
suspended to locate the center of 
the chimney hole. 

2.  After locating the center of the 

hole, install the ceiling support box, 
chimney or chimney connector, 

 

flashing, and rain cap. 

3.  Next, install a New Buck Corp. 

Chimney Connector to the flue of 
the heater. 

4.  Install Double Wall Connector and 

chimney system per manufacturer’s 
list of tested pipes  

 

Caution:

 Because of the high efficiency 

and low flue gas temperature, 
freestanding catalytic heaters connected 
to masonry chimneys with oversized 
flue lines may encounter drafting 
problems.
