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.
Any connector pipe used must be in good condition. Replace if necessary before using stove. Connector pipe is
not rated to provide close contact to combustible materials 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 observed a house fire could result.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please Note: Installation of a flue damper is NOT recommended. Combustion control is regulated by the intake
of combustion air, not the exhaust.
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the stove flue collar. Secure with three (3) equally spaced sheet
metal screws. The first section of connector pipe must be single walled to properly attach to the stove collar.
Install additional pipe and elbow with the crimped end towards the stove. This will allow any condensation
in the flue to run back into the firebox.
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 8).
5. Secure all pipe/elbow sections with three (3) equally spaced sheet metal screws at each joint to make the
piping rigid. DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
6.
It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90° bends be used in the stovepipe installation. 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 concealed space,
floor, ceiling, wall, or combustible construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page
13.) A manufactured chimney system listed to UL 103 HT (US)/ULC-S629 (CDN) must be used from the first
penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney cap. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall conform to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).

NOTE: Connector pipe is not included. To purchase, visit your local hardware, home, or building center. See
“locating stove” page 6 for additional specifications.
NOTICE: For mobile home installations (US only), connector pipe must be double-wall, high-tempurature pipe
that meets ul 103 ht specifications.
WARNING: Do not use single wall connector pipe as a chimney - a house fire could result.
