N550 Bakers Oven | Installation Manual
Chimney Connection
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use
with the N550 Bakers Oven
the chimney connector MUST be 6”
(150mm) in diameter, with a
minimum thickness of 24-gauge black steel or 26-gauge blued steel. The chimney connector
must be suitable for solid fuel, in good condition, and kept clean.
Aluminum and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the N550 Bakers Oven. These
materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes
when fired.
DO NOT USE THE CONNECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY.
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar and to
each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove, as per figure 5.a. Attach each of the
sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws, as per figure 5.b.
Figure 5. a) Chimney connection, b) Stove pipe attachment
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the
pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three
sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance, the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible,
with no more than two 90
°
elbows. The maximum horizontal run is
36”
(915mm) and a
recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope horizontal
runs upward
¼”
per foot toward the chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other
concealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors must be
accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation must conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in
this manual.
