IMPORTANT INSTALLATION POINTS
1.
Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stove requires a minimum of a 6" diameter flue.
2.
Never connect this unit to a chimney serving another appliance.
3.
The chimney must meet all minimum height requirements.
4.
Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or basement.
5.
Contact your local building authority for approved methods of installation and any necessary permits and/or inspections.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Connection may be made to a code-approved masonry chimney with flue liner. Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the
chimney, inspect the flue liner and make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make repairs before attaching the stove. The
connector stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in figure 10. If the connector
stove pipe must go through a combustible wall before entering the masonry chimney, consult a qualified mason or chimney dealer. The
installation must conform to local building and fire codes and latest edition of NFPA 211. If there is a clean out opening in the base of
the chimney, close it tightly.
MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY
REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE.
Use only 6" diameter chimney listed to UL 103 HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use chimney from only one manufacturer. Never mix brands. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer's stated requirements and
clearances. Use the chimney manufacturer's attic guards, roof supports, flashing and fire stops when passing through a ceiling. Use a
listed thimble when passing through a combustible wall. Do not use makeshift
compromises during installation. WARNING: DO NOT USE A SINGLE-WALL CONNECTION PIPE AS A CHIMNEY!
When using a pre-existing chimney, have it's condition and installation inspected before using. Make sure that the chimney meets all of
the UL rating requirements listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chimney is of the UL 103 HT type. NOTE: It is recommended
that you contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor (consult your
local yellow pages) for chimney installation. Manufactured chimney with the proper required UL listing is available from most home
centers, hardware stores, and HVAC supply stores. If you have access to the internet, you may wish to view chimney manufacturers'
information on-line. See, www.duravent.com, www.selkirkinc.com, or www.mtlfab.com.
VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert an existing fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe connection to an existing masonry chimney
requires more work than using a prefabricated chimney. The existing fireplace must be closed and sealed at the damper with high-
temperature caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace cement. Prior to installation, clean and inspect the existing flue and smoke shelf. Installation
should be designed so the system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning and inspection. Before conversion, make sure the existing
chimney is structurally sound, the chimney incorporates a flue liner and make sure it is in good condition. (A flue liner consists of clay
tile that protects the brickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does not have a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined by a professional.

(1) Overall Height – 15 ft. min.
(2) Height above roof – 3 ft
(3) Height above slope – 2 ft.
min. within 10 ft.
