PIPE CONNECTOR AND DAMPER
This furnace must be connected to a duct system and a chimney that are in good condition;
the use of separate
chimneys is recommended.
If the furnace is connected to an oil furnace and both appliances must share the same chimney, the chimney
and smoke connector must be 7” in diameter and approved for use with wood-burning appliances. The use of 6”
connector and chimney is permitted if the wood furnace evacuates into a separate chimney.
It’s strictly forbidden to connect a solid fuel burning appliance to a chimney deserving a propane or
natural gas appliance. Regulation CAN-CSA-B365.1.
Do not install a manual damper
For a proper installation, follow the following advices :
1. All the joints of the evacuation pipe must be secured with three screws.
Make sure that each screw goes through the inner wall of both connectors (male and female). See
pictures below showing a male-female coupling.
Before proceeding to connection, remove all accessories, such as
scraper, shovel and poker from the evacuation pipe of the furnace.
