Chimney Connector - Dimplex Nectre n65 Installation/Operation Instruction Manual

Installation

Chimney Connector

• A chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to a factory-built or masonry
chimney.
• The chimney connector must be clean and in good condition, and be suitable for solid fuel,.
• For use with the N65 stove, the chimney connector MUST be 6" (150 mm) in diameter, with a
minimum thickness of 24-gauge black steel or 26-gauge blued steel.
• Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe are not acceptable for use with the N65 stove. These
materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood stove and emit toxic fumes when
fired.
• No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other
concealed space, or through a floor ceiling.
WARNING: Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
• Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar and
to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove. Refer to Figure 5. Attach each of
the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws. This prevents any amount of
condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints,
including the flue collar connection, must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that
the sections do not separate.

• For optimal performance, the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with
no more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36" (915 mm) and a recommended
total length of stovepipe should not exceed 10'. Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼
toward the chimney.
• All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a
wall or partition of combustible construction is necessary, the installation must conform to
NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365.
