Chimney Connection - Napoleon EPA 1100 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

4.1.1 CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the appliance's exhaust fl ue outlet.
The appliance pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24 gauge thickness. It is
EN
strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
A 6" (152mm) diameter single wall chimney connector, used to connect the appliance to the chimney, must be
installed with the crimped end toward the appliance. This will ensure that the moisture which condenses from the
burning wood will fl ow back into the fi re chamber. Each joint in the chimney connector must be secured with at
least three sheet metal screws.
For installation of your chimney connector, the following recommendations may be useful.
• The chimney connector must be short and straight. For optimum performance it is recommended that
all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4" (6mm) rise per foot, with the upper end of the section toward
the chimney. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, see "INSTALLATION" instructions.
• To insure a good draft, the total horizontal vent length should not exceed 40% of the chimney height
above the appliance. All horizontal smoke pipe must slope slightly upwards a minimum of 1/4"
(6.4mm) per foot (meter) and all connections must be tight. In the case of vertical installation, the total
length of the connector can be longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling
level.
• There should never be more than two 90° elbows in the entire connector and chimney system. Never
start with a 90° elbow. Always go up vertically for at least 24 inches (61cm) from the fl ue collar before
using a 90° elbow.
• The connector must not pass through any combustible material, nor may it pass through a concealed
space (such as an attic, roof space, or closet). If passing through a wall, ceiling, or into a masonry
chimney, use either chimney components listed for that specifi c use, or means acceptable to local
authorities having jurisdiction over the installation.
This appliance must be connected to:
A. A chimney complying with the requirements for
Type HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys,
Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building Heating
Appliance, or
B. A code-approved masonry chimney with a fl ue
liner. Vent the stove into a masonry chimney or an
approved, insulated solid-fuel stainless-steel chimney
with as short and straight a length of 6" (152.4mm)
diameter chimney connector as possible. Connection
to a masonry chimney must be by a metal or masonry
thimble cemented in place.
