vice-versa, reach through the flue collar and
remove the four ¼-20 hex head screws that mount
the cover plate. Next, reach through the hole whole
the cover plate was and remove the four ¼-20 hex
head screws that mount the flue collar. Exchange
the two pieces and reattach the eight screws.

Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25 MSG
blued steel stovepipe.
Double wall connector (close clearance pipe)
which must be used with a listed factory-built
“Type HT" chimney also may be used with a
masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is
available from several manufacturers, your
dealer can help you choose. Some air
insulated connector pipe models available are
Simpson Dura Vent DVL and Metalbestos DS.
Security, GSW and Ameritec also have
acceptable close clearance connector pipe.
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester
is required. (See page 17)
Chimney connector shall not pass through floor
or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or
similar concealed space. Where passage
through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA - B365.
It is very important to follow minimum clearances for
chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls
and ceilings when installing the stove near non-
combustible surfaces. Typical chimney connector
clearances are outlined below. The single wall
clearances are generic; the Double wall clearances
are for Simpson Dura Vent DVL.
ALWAYS CHECK THE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS
FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR CONNECTOR
PIPE
DO NOT CONNECT THE VENT TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR AIR HANDLING SYSTEM.

The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall
pass-through, chimney, and liner. It is
absolutely
necessary
that you install all of these components
within the clearances to combustibles discussed
earlier to install your stove safely.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you
must properly install and constantly maintain the
venting system
. Upon inspection, immediately
replace rusted, cracked, or broken components.
The
chimney connector
is the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney
connector stovepipe must be 6" (152 mm)
diameter, 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel
connector pipe.
Do not use aluminum or
galvanized steel pipe
- they cannot withstand the
extreme temperatures of a wood fire.
A
thimble
is a manufactured (or site-constructed)
device installed in combustible walls through
which the chimney connector passes to the
chimney. It keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use a wall thimble when installing a
chimney connector through a combustible wall to
the chimney.
A
wall pass-through
(or chimney support
package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use one when connecting through a wall or
ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.
Only install this stove to a
lined masonry chimney
or an approved high temperature
prefabricated
residential
type building heating appliance
chimney.
Do not
connect this stove to a chimney
serving another appliance; you will compromise
the safe operation of both the wood stove and
the connected appliance.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
A
liner
is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory
built fireplace or masonry) chimney.
You must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those recommended in this manual.
Do not use stovepipe as a chimney
. Use stovepipe
for freestanding installations only to connect the
stove to a proper chimney.

Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove and
to each other with the crimped end toward the stove.
If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run
into the stove and not the outside of the stovepipe
and onto the stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to
the stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws.
Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws
into the holes pre-drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off
