(Can.: ULC S629; EU. UL 103HT)

CHIMNEY
The stove should not be connected to a distribution sheath: incinerator, heating or ventilation
system.
This apparatus requires a masonry chimney or a certified
(2100)
prefabricated chimney and its
components must be in conformity with the Canadian standard and having appropriate dimensions
.
If the chimney is in masonry, we recommend having it inspected and repaired when needed. A
chimney with a stainless liner may be necessary to reduce the diameter to a more effective
dimension.
To help obtain a suitable draft, the top of the chimney must extend
3'
above the exit point of the
roof and exceed at least
2'
, the highest point of the roof in a radius of
10'
. See figure at the bottom
of the page.
The flue should never pass through an attic, cupboard, closet or any other enclosed area, or a floor,
ceiling or a partition made of combustible materials.
For the connection of the stove to the chimney, choose a 24 gauge sheet pipe. Make sure that the
bore is equal to the diameter of the connection. (Never use a coated sheet).
MINIMUM HEIGHT OF THE CHIMNEY
The chimney must extend at least
3' (915 mm)
past its point of contact with the roof and must be at
least
2' (610 mm)
higher than any walls, roof or building in a radius of
10 ' (3050 mm).
If the
chimney exceeds the roof by
5'
(1525 mm)
or more, it must have a chimney brace
.
