STEP 5: Setting the stove and connecting to the chimney
1.
Assemble the stove (legs, pedestal, ash pan, blower).
Follow the installation instructions that
are included in each accessory box.
Once the stove is assembled set the stove gently on the
hearth using cardboard to protect the hearth.
2.
Position the stove on the hearth according to the clearances shown on the diagrams in section 6.
Be sure that the stove is at least minimum clearance from all combustible walls and materials. If
possible it is advisable to set the stove 1-2 inches further away from the combustibles than
required.
3.
Using approved single (min. 24 MSG Black or 26 MSG Blued)- or double-wall pipe, (single wall
is not approved for a mobile home) connect the stove to the chimney. If necessary, use elbows to
offset the pipe so that the stove can remain at the correct clearance and still connect to the
chimney. Secure each pipe joint with three screws, using the screws provided with the pipe.
Secure the pipe to stove flue collar with 3 screws.
4.
If installing in a mobile home, drill a small hole through the hearth and route the 8 gauge copper
wire into the crawl space. Use a grounding “connector” or “lug” to attach the ground wire to the
stove and to the frame of the mobile home.
5.
When required by local code, you will need to fasten the stove to the floor of the mobile home.
(This applies to mobile homes only). To fasten a leg model, simply mark the location of the hole
in the bottom of the legs, drill holes and bolt into the bottom of the leg from the crawl space. To
fasten a pedestal model, holes will need to be drilled in the pedestal base. Once the holes are
drilled in the base, mark the location on the floor and use bolts and nuts or lag screws to fasten.
Your stove is now ready for use. If your stove installation required a permit and requires inspection by the
local building department please do not forget to call for an inspection. It is important that your permit and
inspection be finalized, as some insurance companies will require the stove to be inspected. It is also a
great idea to give your insurance a call and let them know that you have installed a wood stove.
