appliances must not be installed any closer than the 
minimum clearance to combustible materials shown on 

Page 9

 of this manual.  The stove must be installed on 

a non-combustible surface as shown on 

Page 9

 of this

FAILURE  TO  FOLLOW  ThE  MINIMUM  CLEARANCE 
REQUIREMENT ANd NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE 
REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN AN UNSAFE INSTAL-
LATION

4.  If noncombustible materials have been installed on the 

walls, obtain the minimum clearances from either the 
manufacturer  of  these  materials  or  the  local  building 
inspectors office.

5.  Install the stovepipe INSIDE the flue collar on the top 

of the stove between the stove and chimney.

6.

  dO NOT

 use a grate to elevate the fire.

STOVE PIPE

1.  Make sure your chimney and chimney connector meets 

safety codes. Check with authorities having jurisdiction 
in your area.

2.  All pipe sections must be connected with the male end 

(crimped end) toward the stove.

3.  Fasten the stove pipe to the flue collar by the use of three 

sheet metal screws. Do the same at each additional joint 
to make the entire installation rigid.

4.  Maintain  the  required  diameter  flue  for  the  entire 

installation.

5.  If you are connecting the stove to an old masonry flue, 

be  sure  to  have  it  inspected  for  cracks  and  general 
condition. Resizing with a stainless steel liner may be 
required.

6.  It is recommended that no more than two 90 degree 

bends be used in the stovepipe installation.  More than 
two 90 degree bends may decrease the amount of draw 
and possible cause smoke spillage.

7.  A damper is not required in this installation. Remove 

any damper plate in the chimney or secure in the 

OPEN 

position.

8.  Single wall flue pipe assemblies must not exceed 10 

feet (3 meters) in overall length.
