prefabricated Chimneys
These should be an internal diameter of 150 mm (6”)
and be of the twin wall insulated construction that has
been approved for solid fuel use (e.g. Rite Vent ICS of
ICID Lite Chimney Systems). Diameters over 00 mm
(8”) are not recommended due to the large cross-sec-
tion causing excessive cooling of the flue gases.

Chimney Size
A Resolute Acclaim is approved for venting into a
masonry chimney with a flue size of 03 x 03 mm (8”
x 8”), and into a round flue size of 03 mm (8”) or 15
mm (6”).
It may be vented into larger chimneys as well. How-
ever, chimneys with liners larger than 03 x 305 mm
(8” x 1”) may experience rapid cooling of smoke and
reduction in draft, especially if they are located out-
side the home. These large chimneys may need to be
insulated or to have their flues relined for proper stove
performance.
Accessories to help make the connection between
stainless steel chimney liners and your Resolute Ac-
claim are available through your local dealer.
Chimney Connector guidelines
A chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall
pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. The chim-
ney itself is a masonry or prefabricated structure that
encloses the flue. Chimney connectors are used only
to make the connection from the stove to the chimney.
They are for interior use only.
Connecting Flue pipes
Connector pipes should meet the requirements of the
building regulations. This can be achieved by the use
connecting fluepipes included in the following catego-
ries:
a) Vitreous enamelled steel pipe complying with BS
6999: 1989 (1996);
b) Pipes made from stainless steel as descirbed in BS
EN 1008-1:1995 grades 1.4401, 1.4404, 1.443 or
1.4436 with flue wall thickness of at least 1 mm;
c) Mild steel fluepipes complying with BS 1449: Part 1:
1991, with a flue wall thickness of at least 3 mm;
d) Cast iron fluepipes complying with BS 41: 1973
(1998).
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,
and should be 6” (15 mm) in diameter. Do not use
galvanized chimney connector; it cannot withstand the
high temperatures that can be reached by smoke and
exhaust gases, and may release toxic fumes under high
heat.
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 recommenda-
tions in the section following on Wall Pass-Throughs.
Do not pass the connector through an attic, a closet or
any similar concealed space. The whole chimney con-
nector should be exposed and accessible for inspection
and cleaning.
Install the chimney connector not less than 584 mm
(3”) from the ceiling. Keep it as short and direct as
possible, with no more than two () 90° turns. If pos-
sible, use 45° elbows. Slope horizontal runs of connec-
tors upward 0 mm per m (1/4” per foot) going from the
stove toward the chimney. The recommended maxi-
mum length of a horizontal run is 914 mm (3’), and the
total length of chimney connector should be no longer
than .5 m (8’).
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabricat-
ed chimney downward to within .5 m (8’) of the stove.

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 helps make the assembly
and installation straightforward.
NoTE: For installations using double-wall connec-
tors, minimum clearances must conform to the
listed clearances in the clearance chart on page 11.
Single-wall Chimney Connectors
•
Beginning at the flue collar of the stove, assemble the
chimney connector. Insert the first crimped end into the
stove’s flue collar, and keep each crimped end pointing
toward the stove. Using the holes in the flue collar as
guides, drill 3 mm (1/8”) holes in the bottom of the first
section of chimney connector and secure it to the flue
collar with three (3) #10 x 1/” sheet metal screws.
•
Secure each joint between sections of chimney con-
nector, including telescoping joints, with at least three
