FLUE RECOMMENDATIONS
Connection Of Flue Pipe To A Masonry
Chimney
When connecting
fl
ue pipe to a masonry chimney, there
are two ways to go:
1. The
fl
ue pipe itself can be cemented into the chimney
2. A thimble can be used which is cemented into the
chimney, and the
fl
ue pipe
fi
ts into the thimble.
In each case, care must be taken. The outer masonry
(brick or block) must be chipped away, and the inner
liner must be pierced. The
fl
ue pipe or thimble is then
inserted
fl
ush to the inside face of the tile liner. NOT ANY
FURTHER!
Use furnace cement or mortar to seal this connection.
When connecting the
fl
ue pipe, make sure the attach-
ment is secure enough so down draft or “puffs” do not
dislodge it.
Factory-Built Or Metal Chimneys
If your home has an existing metal chimney, the same rules
apply as with masonry chimneys. One thing to be especially
aware of is that “Class B” chimneys are for gas appliances
only, not solid fuel burners. If purchasing a new package,
consult with the dealer. He will provide the necessary parts
and instructions for installation.
Installing A New Chimney
When installing a new chimney, whether it be masonry or
metal, if possible, it is recommended that it is placed within
the house structure. These chimneys remain warmer and, in
turn, radiate this warmth into the house. A chimney located
outside the house is exposed to cold temperatures which
encourages creosote build-up and poor chimney draft.
Connecting Stove Pipe To A Metal Chimney
When using a metal chimney, part of the installation package
should include a stove pipe connector. Follow the instructions
provided with the chimney and its parts.
Chimney Draft Regulators (Optional) Baro-
metric Damper
These devices are used to help maintain adequate chimney
draft automatically. They should be installed according to
their instructions and set at .04 to .06 inches of water column.
Manual Damper
(Recommended For Added Safety)
These are used to control chimney draft manually and should
be installed in a convenient place between furnace and
chimney. In the event of a chimney
fi
re, it should be closed
reducing air to the chimney
fi
re.
A combination of both barometric damper and manual damper
may be used. If this is the case, install the manual damper
between the barometric damper and the chimney.
Ventilation For Your Furnace
There are many appliances which require “make up” air to
operate. However, with a combustion air draft fan, “make-up”
air is not usually necessary with your wood furnace.
If your home is sealed exceptionally well, use a 3” or 4”
diameter duct vented to the outside and terminating in the
vicinity of the combustion air draft fan. Also, it is possible for
your fans to draw in furnace smoke if there is only dead air in
the area. Note: It’s highly recommended that a cold air return
system be utilized. Simply attach a 14” round to a
fi
lter box
adapter and attach to cold air return. Also, a cold air return
increases motor life.
