B. Venting System:
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney, these get extremely
hot during use. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be
properly installed and maintained. A thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall
to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a
prefabricated chimney. These accessories are necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling
material.
C. Chimney Connector:
The chimney connector must be six (6)
inches in diameter, 24-gauge minimum carbon steel. Do not use
aluminum or galvanized steel. They cannot properly withstand the
extreme temperatures of a coal fire. Do not use chimney connector pipe as
a chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to
those illustrated in this manual. Chimney connector sections must be
attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the
stove (See Figure 10.2). All joints should be secured with three (3) sheet
metal screws. For proper operation, the chimney connector should be as
short as possible. Horizontal lengths of chimney connector should have
an upward slope from the stove of ¼” per foot. Maintain eighteen (18)
inch clearances between the chimney connector and the wall and ceiling
unless a wall protection system is installed.
D. Connection to a Masonry Chimney:
1. Chimney: Should the stove be connected to a masonry chimney, the chimney should be examined for
cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage. The stove should not be installed until it is
determined that the chimney is safe for use. The size of the flue should be checked to determine that it is
not too large for the stove. For this stove, the flue should be no larger than twelve (12) inches x twelve (12)
inches or twelve (12) inches in diameter. (Eight (8) inches x Eight (8) inches or Six (6) inches x Six (6)
inches in diameter is recommended.) The internal cross-section of the chimney must be at least 28 inches.
The chimney should also be checked to assure it meets the minimum standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211.
2. Thimble: A thimble must be used when the connection from the stove is made through a combustible
wall to a masonry chimney. There are several methods to use for connection through a combustible wall,
two (2) of which are illustrated in this manual. Local building authorities may be consulted or NFPA 211
may be used for additional methods of chimney connection.
Also, listed prefabricated metal thimbles can be bought for use with coal stoves. The manufacturer’s
installation instructions from the thimbles must be strictly followed to assure the safety of the system. Be
sure to maintain the designated clearance to combustible materials.
