1.5.3.1 Connectors
The minimum connector diameter is 6" (152 mm). A minimum connector length of 4 ft (1.22 m) is
recommended for best results. Restrictions to stack gas flow (such as using more than two 90
o
elbows)
should be avoided and any horizontal runs should be kept to a minimum length, especially with short
chimneys. The connector pipe, which joins the unit to the chimney, may be of either single or double
walled construction. Connector pipe should be a minimum of 24-gauge steel.
The connector pipe itself must not pass through any combustibles, nor may it pass through non-
combustibles and into a concealed space (such as an attic, roof space, or closet). If passing through a wall,
ceiling, or into a masonry chimney, use either chimney components listed for that specific use, or means
acceptable to local authorities having jurisdiction over the installation.
Install sections of single wall or double wall connector between the stove and the chimney. Secure all
connector pipe joints with a minimum of three sheet metal screws. All connector and factory built chimney
pipes must be installed with the male or crimped end down to prevent creosote dripping outside the joints.
If non-telescopic sections are to be used, they must be cut to length, allowing for overlap. Use three (3)
screws to attach the connector section to the flue collar of the stove. Listed double walled connectors
should be installed in accordance with the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions.
