Venting System (Chimney and Chimney Connector)
1.4.1
General Information
The venting system is the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best fireplace will not
function safely and efficiently if not connected to a suitable chimney. The heat in the flue gases that pass
from the fireplace to the chimney is not wasted heat. This heat is what the chimney uses to make the draft
that draws in combustion air and keeps the combustion gases within the fireplace. You can think of heat in
the flue gas as the fuel the chimney uses to make draft.
1.4.2
Suitable Chimneys
This wood fireplace may be connected to either a factory-built metal or a masonry chimney. To be suitable,
a factory-built metal chimney must comply with UL 103HT (U.S.A.), ULC S629 (Canada) and ULC S-604
(Canada). Factory-built chimneys are tested as a system with all the necessary components for installation.
To be safe and effective, the chimney must be installed exactly in accordance with the manuf
acturer’s
instructions.
Use only components intended for the brand and model of chimney you are using. Never
substitute parts from other chimney brands or build your own components.
