INSTALLATION

WALL PASS-ThROUGhS

Whenever  possible,  design  your  installation  so  the 
connector does not pass through a combustible wall.  If 
you  must  use  a  wall  pass-through  in  your  installation, 
check with your building inspector before you begin and 
construct it in accordance with local building codes.  Also, 
check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any 
specific requirements.
Accessories are available from your dealer for use as wall 
pass-throughs.  If using one of these, make sure it has been 
tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.
All combustible material in the wall is cut away a sufficient 
distance  from  the  single-wall  connector  to  provide  the 
required 12" (305 mm) clearance for the connector.  Any 
material  used  to  close  up  the  opening  must  be  non-
combustible.
The following wall pass-through methods 

may be

 approved 

in your area:

  Use a section of listed factory-built chimney with a 

nine-inch clearance to combustibles.

  Place a chimney connector pipe inside a ventilated 

thimble, which is then separated from combustibles 
by 6"(152 mm) of fiberglass insulating material.

  Place  a  chimney  connector  pipe  inside  a  section 

of  listed  solid-insulated,  factory-built  chimney, 
with an inside diameter 1" (51 mm) larger than the 
chimney connector and having 1" (25 mm) or more 
of insulation and maintaining a minimum 2 inch air 
space between the outer wall of the chimney and 
combustibles.

do not connect the heater to any air distribution duct 
or system.
In  Canada:   

The  Canadian  Standards Association  has 

established  different  guidelines. 

Figure  10

  shows  one 

method, in which all combustible material in the wall is cut 
away to provide the required 18" (450 mm) clearance for 
the connector.  The resulting space must remain empty.
A flush mounted sheet metal cover may be used 

on one 

side only.

  If covers must be used on both sides, each cover 

must be mounted on non-combustible spacers at least 1" 
(25 mm) clear of the wall.  Your Vermont Castings dealer 
or your local building inspector can provide details of other 
approved methods of passing a chimney connector through 
a  combustible  wall.    In  Canada,  this  type  of  installation 
must conform to CSA-B365.  Installation Code for Solid 
Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment.

NOTE:  

Do not vent your stove into a factory-built (zero-

clearance) fireplace. These appliances and their chimneys 
are specifically designed as a unit for use as fireplaces.  
It may void the listing or be hazardous to adapt them for 
any other use.

FLOOR PROTECTOR
Installation on a Concrete Floor

An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not require 
floor protection.
Carpeting  and  any  other  combustible  material  shall  not 
cover the floor protector.
If a combustible surface is applied to the concrete floor, 
a  clearance  must  be  maintained  equivalent  to  the  area 
reserved for the floor protector.
