the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.

temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.

The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see "Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE
CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.

upwards 6mm (1/4") per foot and be a maximum 914mm (36") long.

The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards. This prevents
creosote

The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the clearance determined
by the manufacturer of the connector for the connector to wall clearance or the clearance listed in this
