  • Page 7 CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a prefabricated or masonry chimney. If you are using a prefab chimney, it must comply with S-629 standards; therefore it must be approved for up to 1200 F (650° C). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.

  • Page 8: Step By Step Installation Of Your Chimney

    STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION OF YOUR CHIMNEY Note : The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. The instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose products are sold at many Canadian retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories. WALL SUPPORT SYSTEM If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent wall.
  • Page 9 2- Once the opening completed, you need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall thimble. A wall thimble is not required for installations through concrete walls. 3- You must first secure the wall thimble into the exterior wall surface. Then, do the same inside and fasten the trim plate.
  • Page 10 6- You can start to add chimney sections. We recommend that you also use locking bands to secure all connections. You will need to secure the chimney to the house using wall bands. Wall bands wrap around the chimney and then attach to the wall. Install the first one 3 feet above the wall support. Then, you will need another band for each 8 feet of chimney.
  • Page 11 9- You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove. You can follow the instructions in the following sections of this manual under « COUPLINGS ».

  • Page 13 6. Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space. It is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney.
  • Page 14 Finally, twist on your rain cap and you can head back inside. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required. 9. You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove.

  • Page 15: Couplings

    COUPLINGS It is very important to measure the clearance between your connectors (commonly called stove pipe) and the surrounding combustible surfaces. If the normal 18 inches clearance required cannot be obtained, you may have to use an insulated flue pipe in order to install. You must read the flue pipe manufacturer's instructions before installation.

    EXTERIOR AIR INTAKE Since the Lieutenant has been approved for installation in mobile homes, it is equipped with an optional exterior air intake kit.

    OPERATING YOUR FLAME WOOD STOVE FUEL Your stove was designed to burn wood only. No other type of fuel should be used. Waste and other flammable materials are prohibited. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.

  • Page 18: Ignition

    To change your door gasket, simply remove the old gasket and carefully clean the door groove. Install the new gasket by carefully following the instructions on the gasket packaging. IMPORTANT: different models of Flame wood stoves require different types of gasket.

  • Page 22: Maintenance Of The Chimney

    MAINTENANCE OF THE CHIMNEY Whether you have a prefab or masonry chimney, you must conduct a visual inspection at least once a month in order to be sure that it is in good shape and that there is no excessive creosote build-up. If there is the slightest crack, or undulation of the interior or exterior surface of the chimney, repairs or replacements of defective parts must be carried out without delay.

  • Page 23: Frequently Asked Questions

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT DO THE WORDS “DRAFT” AND “NEGATIVE PRESSURE” MEAN? The word “draft” refers to the hot air movement that circulates in your stove’s exhaust system, moving from the stove to the outside of the house, and carrying with it the combustion residues. The draft is a natural phenomenon.
  • Page 24 DRAWING #1 DRAWING #1 shows a stove functioning under normal and adequate conditions. Heat rises to the upper floors and the room where the stove is located has an adequate supply of oxygen. The chimney draft is sufficient and the combustion gases are evacuated normally through the exhaust system.
  • Page 25 DRAWING #2 DRAWING #2 shows the effect of a cold chimney. Cold air creates a reverse draft (negative pressure), which causes smoking problems. This phenomenon is amplified by the fact that heat rises, which creates a draft from the basement of the house to the upper floors (“chimney stack effect”).
  • Page 26 DRAWING #3 DRAWING #3 shows the effect of negative pressure caused by an air-moving device inside the house. In the example above, the range hood draws air from inside the house, which is replaced by air coming from the chimney. The result is a smoking problem.
  • Page 27 DRAWING #4 DRAWING #4 shows the negative pressure effect caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a building.
  • Page 28 DRAWING #5 DRAWING #5 shows the negative pressure effect that can be caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a tree.
  • Page 29 There are different sizes of firebricks. Most stores will sell firebricks with a dimension of 4,5”X9”X1,25”. These firebricks are adequate for many stoves, but will not fit on all Flame units. It is preferable that you visit our parts section in order to clearly identify the type of firebrick that you need.
