Making the connec on of a wood heater to a chimney falls into two general categories; ver cal or horizontal ven ng. Within
those general types there can be many varia ons. It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe all types and con
fi
gura-
ons of chimney installa on. Rather, this sec on focuses on the connec on of the wood heater to an approved chimney.
• Any exis ng chimney system, masonry or factory-built, should be inspected by your High Valley dealer or a professional
chimney sweep to ensure that it meets all code requirements and is in sound and serviceable condi on before connec ng
the wood heater. Seek the advice of the local building inspector or other Authority Having Jurisdic on. Par cular a en-
on should be paid to clearances to combus ble materials, ceiling and/or roof penetra ons, or wall thimbles.
• New factory-built chimney systems must be installed to the manufacturer's instruc ons and speci
fi
ca ons. New masonry
chimneys must meet the requirements of NFPA 211. All chimneys should be inspected before use. See
