STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION OF YOUR CHIMNEY
Note :
The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. The
instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose
products are sold at many Canadian retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.
WALL SUPPORT SYSTEM
If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent
wall. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required :
Chimney
•
Suitable lengths of chimney (enough to go up to your roof)
•
An adjustable wall support
•
A wall thimble
•
An adequate number of wall bands (one for every 8 feet of chimney, excluding the roof portion)
•
A stove pipe adapter
•
One insulated tee & plug
•
A chimney cap.
•
Roof guys (if required)
Stove pipe
•
An adequate number of stove pipe sections.
•
A 90
o
elbow
1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum
clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass
through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your
chimney will run between the studs. You can use a stud finder to locate the studs. Use a spoke saw
or jig saw to cut a hole, remembering that you need to maintain a clearance of 2 inches between the
chimney and any combustible materials. For concrete walls, cut a hole slightly larger than the outer
diameter of the chimney.
