  • Page 5 Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired. Open- ings sealed with pie plates or wallpaper are a hazard and should be sealed with mortar or refractory cement. In the event of a chimney fire, flames and smoke may be forced out of these unused thimbles.

Insert the first crimped end into the stove’s flue collar, and keep each crimped end pointing toward the stove. Using the holes in the flue collar as guides, drill 1/8”...
  • Page 7 A special piece called the “thimble sleeve,” slightly smaller in diameter than standard connector and most thimbles, will facilitate the removal of the chimney connector system for inspection and cleaning. Thimble sleeves should be available from your local dealer. To install a thimble sleeve, slide it into the breech until it is flush with the inner flue wall.

  • Page 16 Resolute Acclaim Woodburning Stove Because of their restricted air flow and heat retention characteristics, specific construction requirements and special clearances apply to installations into alcoves. No stove or chimney connector heat shields are used in alcove installa- tions. Bottom heat shield requirements remain the same as for other installations. ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE RESOLUTE ACCLAIM IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.

    Resolute Acclaim Woodburning Stove When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire within the flue system which can damage the chimney and overheat adjacent combustible material. To reduce the amount of creosote that may form, re- member to provide adequate air for combustion and to strive for small, intense fires rather than large, smolder- ing ones.
