Distance from the Center of the Flue Collar to the Wall in Top-Exit Installations
The information on this page is helpful in planning stove placement for top-exiting installations, particularly those installations
with chimneys that pass through the ceiling. However, this is not a clearance chart. Final stove clearances must adhere to
the guidelines stated in the clearance chart on Page 13.
Dimensions indicated are valid for installations with either 6" or 8" flue collars.

**To locate center of flue collar for corner installation, add 7-1/8" (181 mm) to the clearance distance from stove corner to wall. Mark
off the resulting distance from the corner along both walls. Next, measure the same distance from these two points out from the walls.
These last two measurements will meet at a point representing the center of the flue collar. Refer to the diagrams above.
