E. Connection to a Masonry Fireplace:
There are several kits available to connect the stove to a masonry
fireplace. Look for a listed kit. The kit is an adapter, which is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The
existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation of the kit. The key points of this type of stove
connection are that the connector pipe must extend up the chimney above where the fire clay liner starts, and the
areas of the kit installation and connector penetration should fit tightly and be sealed with high temperature
furnace cement unless the kit’s instructions state otherwise. The tight fitting installation aids the proper draw of
the chimney.
F. Connection to a Metal Prefabricated Chimney:
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the
manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. You must also purchase (from the same
manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass through and “T”-section package, fire stops
(when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as
recommended by the manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum of two (2) inches, although it may vary
by manufacturer or for certain components.
There are two methods of metal chimney installation. One method is to install the chimney inside the residence
through the ceiling and the roof. (See Figures 12.1 and 12.2). The other method is to install an exterior chimney
that runs up the outside of the residence. (See Figures 13.1 and 13.2). The components illustrated may not look
exactly like the system you purchase, but they demonstrate the basic components you will need for a proper and
safe installation.
The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper draft
operation. The requirement is that the chimney must be at least three (3) feet higher than the highest point where it
passes through the roof and at least two (2) feet higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within
ten (10) feet of the chimney, measured horizontally.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and maintain the manufacturer’s specified
clearance distances.
