FACTORY-BUILT METAL CHIMNEYS
IN MOBILE HOMES
For use in a mobile home, this stove is to
be connected to a 6” in diameter double
wall factory built chimney conforming to
CAN/ULC-S629, Standards for 650°C
Factory-built chimney. The total length of
the flue system should be at least 12 feet
including elbows, from the top of the
stove.
To maintain an effective vapour barrier,
insulation and waterproof at the chimney
and outside flue pipe, install a mobile
home roof flashing and seal it with
silicone.
8.2.3
MASONRY CHIMNEYS
The stove may also be connected to a
masonry chimney, provided the chimney
complies with the construction rules found
in the building code enforced locally. The
chimney must have either a clay liner or a
suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the
masonry chimney has a square or
rectangular liner that is larger in cross
sectional area than a round 6” flue, it
should be relined with a suitably listed 6”
stainless steel liner. Do not downsize the
flue to less than 6” unless the venting
system is straight and exceeds 25 feet in
height.
When
passing
through
a
combustible wall, the use of an insulated
listed thimble is required.
