6.7.1 Installation of Single Wall Chimney Connector
The chimney connector assembly has been called ‘the weak link’ in the safety of wood heating
systems because failure to install the connector properly (which has been common in the past)
can result in house fires.
The best flue pipe assembly is one that rises straight up from the stove to the base of the
chimney with no elbows. Straight assemblies are less likely to cause problems like smoke roll-
out when the door is opened for loading. They are also more stable and easier to maintain than
assemblies with elbows. Horizontal runs of flue pipe should be avoided where possible because
they reduce chimney draft.

The rules below are based on those found in the CSA-B365 installation code. Please carefully
follow these installation instruction rules, or those enforced by the local code.
• Maximum overall length of horizontal pipe: 10 ft. (3 m) including elbows.
• Minimum clearance from combustible material: 18" (450 mm). The minimum clearance may be
reduced by 50 percent to 9" (225 mm) if suitable shielding is installed either on the pipe or on
the combustible surface.
