Additional Venting Information - England's Stove Works 17‐VL Installation & Operation Manual

Additional Venting Information
 Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when assembling
your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a thimble
from another).
 We require a minimum chimney height of 15.0 ft. Chimney systems shorter than this
may not create the amount of draft which is required to operate this wood burning unit.
 Do not use makeshift compromises when installing the venting system; have existing
chimney systems inspected before use and be certain all new chimney systems are
installed to the manufacturer's specifications and with only UL listed components (ULC if
Canada).
 Prefabricated venting systems used for this stove must be listed to ULC S629 (Canada)
and UL 103HT (US).
 Never install a draft inducer or any other system which increases the natural draft of the
chimney; similarly, do not install a barometric or stovepipe damper with this unit.
 Never use single wall or double chimney connector as a chimney system; never pass
either type of chimney connector through a combustible wall without carefully following
the manufacturer's instructions and those listed in the following page on Wall Pass‐
Throughs. NEVER pass chimney connector through an attic, floor, closet or roof.
 Only use 24 gauge MSG black single wall chimney connector or UL Listed (ULC if Canada)
double wall chimney connector.
Single Wall Chimney Connector Installation
The male end of single wall
chimney connector is
installed facing down so that
any liquid creosote in the
flue will run into the unit
instead of onto the outside
of the pipe (the natural draft
in the chimney system will
prevent smoke leakage at
the joints).
 INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
 HOT! Do not touch! Severe burns or clothing ignition may result.
 Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Crimped or male end of
single wall chimney
connector must face down.
Fasten each single wall
chimney connector joint
with three sheet metal
screws.
