Chimney Connector (also known as “flue pipe” or “stove pipe”): The chimney connector joins the stove to the
chimney. It should be six (6) inches in diameter, carbon steel, and 24-gauge minimum.
Thimble: A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in combustible walls through which the chimney
connector passes to the chimney. It is intended to keep walls from igniting.
Chimney: (See specifications on Pages 8-10) APPROVED MASONRY with at least 5/8” fire clay lining joined
with refractory cement or other listed lining system suitable for use with coal stoves, or PREFABRICATED six
(6) or eight (8) inch listed high temperature residential type and building heating appliance chimney. Components
required by manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support base, fire stop (as appropriate), attic
insulation shield, insulated tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney installation. Use only components
manufactured for the chimney.
Floor Protector: ¼” mineral board or equivalent. Measurements: Eight (8) inches beyond the sides and back;
eighteen (18) inches beyond the front. Total Dimensions: 40” x 45” or larger
(Must be fire retardant material).
CAUTION: Avoid Fire –
Maintain the designated clearance distance to combustibles. Insulation must not touch
the chimney. There must be the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This air space around a
chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat
build-up which may ignite wood framing.
Section 3: Installation
CAUTION: If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact your local building or fire official about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area. Check your local building code.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new stove. Failure to follow instructions may
result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
A. Locating Your Stove:
When locating your stove, consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact
that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector. For safety, and to avoid drafts, avoid locations close to
an exit.
Your stove should be located away from doors and hallways, and in an open area to allow for necessary
clearances.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES SHOWN IN FIGURES 9.1 and 10.1 ARE TO PREVENT WALLS
AND CEILINGS FROM CATING FIRE.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other combustibles far away from the stove. Never install the
stove in locations where gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter, or any other flammable liquids are used or stored.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS STOVE IN A MOBILE HOME.
