Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zero clearance fireplace” category. These consist of multi layered
metal construction. They are designed with enough insulation and/or air cooling on the base, back and sides so
they can be safely installed in direct contact with combustible floors and walls. Although many prefabricated
fireplaces carry endorsements from nationally recognized organizations for use as fireplaces, they have not been
tested for connection to coal stove heaters. Connecting a stove to such a device will void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Venting a stove directly into a fireplace does not meet code and should not be attempted. The stove warranty
will be void with such an installation. Do not create a hazard in your home by connecting in this manner.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Directly connecting the stove-pipe into the existing masonry chimney (“Type A” Fireplace Conversion) of the
fireplace is the ONLY approved method of installation. If the chimney is behind a combustible wall, you must
use an approved wall pass-through system to gain access to the chimney. This is a complicated and involved
process and to ensure safety should only be done by a qualified installer.
1. An entry hole must be cut through the masonry and tile liner with minimal damage to the liner. At least 8” of
liner must remain below the entry position. When locating the stove and stove-pipe, all minimum clearances
must be observed from combustible surfaces including mantels, combustible trim work, ceilings and walls.
Positioning the center of the stove pipe entry into the chimney 24˝ below the ceiling should insure proper
clearance for a 6˝ stove-pipe.
2. Install a fire clay (5/8˝ minimum thickness) thimble. Make sure the thimble is flush with the inner surface of the
chimney liner and does not protrude into the flue.
3. Secure the thimble with refractory mortar. The thimble should be surrounded by 12˝ of solid unit masonry
brickwork or 24˝ of stone.
4. Install the stove-pipe into the thimble as far as possible without extending past the flue lining.
5. A small airspace (about 1/2˝) should remain between the stove-pipe and thimble to allow for expansion of
the pipe. Seal this airspace with high temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed position using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool, or furnace
cement. Also check to see if the chimney has a cleanout. If it does, make sure it is closed and sealed as well.
A leaky cleanout will greatly reduce draft efficiency.
If you have any questions regarding venting your stove, contact the manufacturer or contact the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and request a copy of the latest editions of NFPA Standard 211 and NFPA Standard
908. Their address is: Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
