CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
Fig. 6 – Stovepipe/Flue Connections
CORRECT WRONG WRONG
Connector pipe is used to make the connection
from the final positioning of your stove to an approved
chimney. Connector pipe is NOT included as part of
the stove. Connector pipe must be 6”/152mm diameter
minimum of 24 MSG (minimum standard gauge) black
or 26 MSG blue steel stove pipe. Connector pipe is not
rated to provide close contact to combustible materi-
als and must have proper clearance from combustible
materials as shown in the clearance diagrams on the
previous pages. Connector pipe should never be used
in place of a chimney. If proper clearances are not ob-
served a house fire could result.
Installation Instructions
1. The smooth end of the stovepipe fits over the stove
flue collar. Secure with three (3) sheet metal screws
and seal with stove cement.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4”(6.4mm) per foot
of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18˝/457mm of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 6).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three sheet metal
screws at each joint to make the piping rigid. Secure
pipe/elbow sections with a minimum of three (3)
equally spaced sheet metal screws at each joint
and at the stove collar to make the pipe rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (non adjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, trusses, closet, or any con-
cealed space, floor, ceiling, wall, or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems
& Clearances, page 10.) A manufactured chimney
system listed to UL 103 HT must be used from the
first penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney cap.
Use components from only one manufacturer – do
not mix brands.
Where passage through a wall or partition of com-
bustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to NFPA 211 (USA).
WARNING: DO NOT USE A SINGLE-WALL CON-
NECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY! A HOUSE FIRE
COULD RESULT.
NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED.
USE ROUND 6 IN. DIA. MINIMUM 24 MSG
(MINIMUM STANDARD GAUGE) BLACK OR
26 MSG BLUE STEEL STOVE PIPE. DO NOT
USE GALVANIZED PIPE. TO PURCHASE PIPE,
VISIT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE, HOME OR
BUILDING CENTER. SEE “LOCATING STOVE”
