Chimney Informations - Drolet YUKON Instructions Manual

• Before you hook up the stove, inspect the chimney to ensure that it is in good condition.
• Your stove is approved on factory built type A or type L chimney. The chimney has to be well insulated; a
chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a good draft and create condensation.
• Chimney sections must be of equal diameter. A 5" factory built chimney is required. A larger diameter will
have a greater volume and will be more difficult to heat. This can lead to draft problems.
•
Masonry chimneys are often oversized. You must insert a 5" stainless steel liner in your oversized
masonry chimney in order to reduce its internal diameter to 5 inches.
•
The chimney should be at least 15' high (including stove pipe sections). The chimney has to extend at
least 3' above the point where is comes out of the roof and at least 2' higher than the tallest roof point or
any structure within a horizontal distance of 10'.
• MINIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT :
The height of the chimney should be at least 15'
(4.6 m).
