CONNECTING TO A PRE-EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE CHIMNEY
!
1. See Diagram #8.
!
2. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is approved to use any UL-Listed legally rated 3-inch (7.62 cm) single
wall flexible (18-gauge stainless steel) multi-fuel pellet pipe as a connector
only
within a masonry
fireplace chimney
. If using another type of approved chimney system to vent your Kimberly™ wood stove
heater, then follow the appropriate instructions contained within this manual. We recommend BioVent®
Multi-Fuel Flexible Pellet Venting, available from Unforgettable Fire™ or your authorized Kimberly™ dealer.
Connections with the stove and at the top of the masonry fireplace chimney must be secured with at least 3
self-tapping screws per joint. Never utilize make-shift compromises during installation.
!
3. To remove any pre-existing creosote and ashes, the chimney and fireplace should be professionally cleaned.
Remove any grates from inside the fireplace.
!
4. Wear gloves to protect your hands and to prevent cuts from sharp metal edges. Unroll the 3-inch pellet pipe
on the ground outside the house, and straighten it as much as possible to make it easier to insert the pellet
pipe through the masonry chimney.
!
5. Climb onto the roof and remove the cap from the top of the masonry chimney and check for any obstacles in
the masonry flue.
!
6. Begin sliding the 3-inch pellet pipe into the masonry chimney. Due to the small 3-inch diameter of the pellet
pipe, little resistance should be felt as it passes through the masonry chimney. It may be helpful to have an
installation partner down below to assist with sliding the flexible pipe through the damper area.
!
7. From inside the house, adjust the 3-inch diameter pellet pipe to a 90-degree curve and pull it to the correct
length for attachment to the Kimberly™ wood stove heater. Remove any protective tape from the end of the
3-inch pellet pipe and fasten the pellet pipe to the Kimberly™ wood stove heater, using a minimum of three
self-tapping screws.
!
8. From the rooftop, pull the excess 3-inch pellet pipe from the top of the masonry fireplace chimney, leaving
sufficient length to fit into the chimney cap. Use a hacksaw or other cutting device to cut the pellet pipe.
Secure to the chimney cap with a minimum of three self-tapping screws.
!
9. When connected, use 3M™ Fireblock sealant (or equivalent) and concrete screws to secure the chimney
cap in place.
!
10. Install fiberglass insulation around the damper area inside the fireplace to prevent unwanted drafts from
entering the house through the chimney.
!
11. CAUTION: WHEN VENTING WITH THIS APPROVED CHIMNEY SYSTEM, FOLLOW
ONLY
THESE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE KIMBERLY™ WOOD STOVE HEATER.
!
12.CAUTION:
NEVER
FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OR CLEARANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
WHICH MAY BE PROVIDED BY ANY PELLET PIPE MANUFACTURER.
!
13.CAUTION: BEFORE INSTALLATION, REMOVE ALL SILICONE GASKETS FROM THE JOINTS OF ANY
PELLET PIPE (IF PRESENT) AND DISPOSE OF THE GASKETS APPROPRIATELY.
!
14.CAUTION:
DO NOT
USE A REDUCER TO JOIN THE 3-INCH PELLET PIPE WITH THE 6-INCH CLASS-A
PIPE. NOTE: THE 3-INCH PELLET PIPE WILL CARRY THE FLUE GASES FROM THE STOVE TO THE
TOP OF THE CHIMNEY. THE 6-INCH CLASS-A PIPE IS USED AS A CONDUIT FOR THE 3-INCH PELLET
PIPE. THE 3-INCH PELLET PIPE SHOULD TERMINATE
FLUSH
WITH THE 6-INCH CLASS-A PIPE OR
