1450CE Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove
30003845
Flue Pipes with a spigot and socket joint should be
fitted with the socket facing upwards, to contain con-
densates and moisture within the flue. Joints should be
made gas tight using proprietary jointing accessories,
or, where appropriate, by packing joint with noncombus-
tible rope and fire cement.
Double-wall connectors must be tested and listed for
use with solid-fuel burning appliances. Single-wall con-
nectors should be made of 4 gauge or heavier steel.
Do not use galvanized connector; it cannot withstand
the high temperatures that can be reached by the
stove’s exhaust gases, and may release toxic fumes
under high heat. The connector may be 15 mm (6”) or
03 mm (8“) in diameter.
If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through
a combustible wall or ceiling. If passage through a com-
bustible wall is unavoidable, refer to the section on Wall
Pass-Throughs. Do not pass the connector through an
attic, a closet or similar concealed space. The whole
connector should be exposed and accessible for in-
spection and cleaning.
In horizontal runs of chimney connector, maintain a
distance of 610 mm (4”) from the ceiling. Keep it as
short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°
turns. Slope horizontal runs of connector upward 6 mm
per meter (1/4” per foot) going from the stove toward
the chimney. The recommended maximum length of
a horizontal run is 914 mm (36”), and the total length
should be no longer than .4 m (8’). In cathedral ceiling
installations, extend the prefabricated chimney down-
ward to within .4 m (8’) of the stove.
wear gloves and protective eyewear when drilling,
cutting or joining sections of chimney connector.
Single-wall chimney connectors
•
Begin assembly at the flue collar of the stove. Insert
the first crimped end into the stove’s flue collar, and
keep each crimped end pointing toward the stove.
(Fig. 4) Using the holes in
the flue collar as guides,
drill 3 mm (1/8”) holes in
the bottom of the first sec-
tion of chimney connector
and secure it to the flue
collar with three #10 x 1/”
sheet metal screws.
•
Secure each joint be-
tween sections of chim-
ney connector, including
telescoping joints, with at
least three (3) sheet metal
screws. The pre-drilled
holes in the top of each section of chimney connec-
tor serve as guides when you drill 3 mm (1/8”) holes
in the bottom of the next section.
•
Secure the chimney connector to the chimney. In-
structions for various installations follow.
•
Be sure the stove and chimney connector are in-
stalled at the correct distances from nearby com-
bustible materials as per tested clearance. Refer to
Encore Clearance Diagrams.
Note:
Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form
telescoping joints between sections of chimney con-
nector are available to simplify installations. They often
eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections.
Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.
double-wall chimney connectors
Information on assembling and installing double-wall
connectors is provided by the manufacturer of the
double-wall pipe. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
exactly as you assemble the connector and attach it to
the stove and chimney. Using chimneys and connectors
from the same manufacturer makes the assembly and
installation straightforward.
Note:
For installations using double-wall connectors,
minimum clearances must conform to the listed clear-
ances in the clearance chart on Page 13.
If the Encore is equipped with the 03 mm (8”) flue
collar, an oval-to-round adapter will be needed. Double-
wall oval-to-round adapters are available from some
manufacturers. Your local dealer can help you select
the right connector.
Securing the Single-wall connector to a
prefabricated chimney
Follow the installation instructions of the chimney manu-
facturer exactly as you install the chimney. The manu-
facturer of the chimney will supply the accessories to
support the chimney, either from the roof of the house,
at the ceiling of the room where the stove is installed, or
from an exterior wall.
Special adapters are available from your local dealer
which connect the prefabricated chimney to the chim-
ney connector. The top of such adapters attach directly
to the chimney or to the chimney’s ceiling support pack-
age, while the bottom of the adapter is screwed to the
chimney connector.
These adapters are designed so the top end will fit
outside the inner wall of the chimney, and the bottom
end will fit inside the first section of chimney connector.
When assembled in this way, any soot or creosote fall-
ing from the inner walls of the chimney will stay inside
the chimney connector.
