Deck Fitting
To install the thru deck fitting, a hole must be cut in your deck. There should be
a 1” clearance all around the chimney pipe. The 3” diameter exhaust pipe would
require a 5” hole drilled in the deck. Once a hole is cut, you can line the raw
hole with epoxy, caulking or a metal liner to finish it off. Just ensure there is a
1” air gap between the hole and the chimney pipe.
The thru-deck fitting includes a stainless steel dress ring for the interior of
the cabin and a neoprene rubber gasket to better seal the fitting. Depending
on the contour or the angle of the cabin top, you may need to make a
hardwood spacer block. One surface of the block would be a level plane to
mate to the deck cap. The other would match the angle or contour of the
cabin top. A hole through the center of the block would also be 2 inches
greater then the diameter of the flue pipe.
Exhaust Cap
The Dickinson DP or H style exhaust caps are most recommended. The
exhaust cap will fit over the crimp on the deck fitting or flue pipe. The
location of the exhaust cap above deck must be clear of any immediate
obstruction that may cause unusual air movement or turbulence.
CAUTION: The Exhaust Cap gets hot when the stove is operating.
