ONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS
•
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE USED BY ANOTHER APPLIANCE
•
Single wall connector that is at least 24 MSG or
25 MSG blued steel stovepipe.
•
Double wall connector (Rear pipe) which is used
with a listed, factory-
built “Type HT" chimney or
with a masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is
available from several manufacturers, your dealer
can help you choose. Some air insulated
connector pipe models recommended are
Simpson Dura Vent DVL and Metalbestos DS.
Security, GSW and Ameritec also manufacture
acceptable Rear connector pipe.
•
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester is
required. (See page 18)
•
The chimney connector cannot pass through a
floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet
or similar concealed space. Where venting
requires passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction, the installation must
conform to NFPA Code 211 or CAN/CSA - B365.
•
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions
to maintain an effective vapor barrier at the
location where the chimney of other component
penetrates the exterior of the structure
•
It is very important to follow minimum clearances
for chimney connectors to combustibles such as
walls and ceilings when installing the stove.
Typical chimney connector clearances are
outlined below. The single wall clearances are
generic; the double wall clearances shown are
specifically for Simpson DuraVent DVL and may
vary
with
other
brands.
Check
the
specifications from the manufacturer of your
connector.

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
and maintain the clearances to combustibles
discussed earlier to ensure a safe stove installation.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you
must properly install and constantly maintain the
venting system
in good condition. Be sure to inspect
the chimney and chimney connector and keep it clean
.
Upon inspection, immediately replace rusted,
cracked, or broken components.
Failure to follow
these instructions and specified components or using
make-shift compromises can
result in fire, property
damage, bodily injury, and even death.
•
The
chimney connector
is the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney
connector stovepipe is 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.
•
The
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.
•
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.
•
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

Attach stovepipe sections to the flue collar 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 on the outside of the stovepipe or
onto the stove.
