Rules For Connector Pipe Installation
1. Crimped end of the pipe must be installed toward
the heater. The pipe should slide inside the flue
collar. The pipe should be firmly attached to the
flue collar with 3 screws and sealed with furnace
cement.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the
chimney at least 1/4 " inch for each foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18" inches clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue.

5. Seal each connector pipe joint with furnace
RIGHT
cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney.
6. Use 3 sheet metal screws at each joint to make
the piping rigid.
7. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90 degree bends be used in the stove pipe
installation as more than two (2) may decrease
the amount of draw and possibly cause smoke
spillage.

an attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction.
