Stove pipe

Suitable lengths of stove pipe
1- Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your
stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run
between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the
minimum clearances to combustible materials. After you have determined where the chimney will go through
the ceiling, use a spoke saw or power jig saw to cut a hole, remembering that you need a minimum 2-inch
clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials. Depending on whether you have a one or
two story structure, you will need to cut a matching hole through the floor of the attic or second floor living
space.
2- Before you install the ceiling support, you need to frame the area.
3- To install the ceiling support, just slide the assembly into the framed opening from below. Once you ensure
that the finishing plate is flush with the underside of the ceiling and assembly is level, secure it with screws.
