The performance of a stove, as a heating system, is heavily dependent on the quality of the chimney system.  Chimney 
systems have to meet stringent requirements in both the United States and Canada. For a model BBF, use chimney 
connectors with an outside diameter of 8” (200mm).  Country Flame requires the use of a properly designed chimney that 
is approved or listed with regulatory agencies.  

Prefabricated chimney pipe must be UL 103 listed and be HT 2100 rated.  Chimney components, such as the chimney 
base, chimney fire stop (as required), chimney attic insulation shield, chimney-insulated tee, etc. are all required to be 
listed components and purchased from the same manufacturer where the chimney connector was purchased.  These listed 
ancillary items are necessary to guarantee a proper, safe, and complete chimney system installation. CAUTION: Do not 
mix and match different manufacturer’s chimney components.  Once a single chimney component is selected, stay with 
that specific manufacturer and follow all the chimney manufacturer’s installation requirements.  ALWAYS follow a 
specific chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions to exacting detail regardless of information provided from other 
sources.  If there is any discrepancy that requires clarification, please contact Country Flame or a local dealer for 
assistance.  Country Flame’s warranty requires a properly installed and listed chimney system.  

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR  

 

Chimney connectors are also commonly referred to as chimney pipe.  Follow the specific chimney manufacturer’s 
installation instructions for proper installation.  It is important to ensure a good tight seal and proper installation of the 
chimney pipe in order to obtain proper chimney draft once the chimney is completed and the stove is operational.  The 
chimney pipe should have an 8” (200mm) outside diameter for all other Country Flame catalytic models.  The chimney 
connector should be constructed of a minimum of 24 MSG black or 25 MSG blue steel.  The use of high temperature RTV 
sealant and self-tapping screws will be required to attach different sections of chimney connectors together and ultimately 
to the stove.  

FLUE TRANSITION  

 

Many catalytic stove inserts have chimney connections that do not align with an existing chimney system.  In order to 
make the installer’s job easier, Country Flame provides standard flue transitions (offsets) that make the installation of a 
stove simpler.  The use of high temperature RTV sealant and self-tapping screws will be needed to secure and seal the flue 
transition properly to the stove and chimney system.  Contact Country Flame or one of its locale authorized dealers to 
obtain more information about flue transitions.  

WALL THIMBLE 

 

A wall thimble is a manufactured or site-constructed device installed in combustible walls and ceilings through which the 
chimney pipe passes as it is routed through the house.  The wall thimble is designed to ensure that combustible wall 
material does not self-ignite due to continuous, radiated and sometime excessive heat generated through the chimney.  The 
wall thimble is a safety device that prevents wall or house fires.
