RECOMMENDATIONS
Clearance
The clearances stated in this guide are minimum re-
quirements: if more space is available, use it. Min-
imum clearances mean leaving unobstructed air
space. Do not fill these spaces with any material
whatsoever, especially not home insulating material
except specified otherwise. If you insulate your attic
later, be sure to maintain the necessary clearance.
Inspection
Contact local building or fire officials about restric-
tions, installation inspections and permits that may
be required in your area.
Replacement Parts
If a component of your chimney system is damaged
it must be replaced by an identical one from
DuraVent.
APPLICATIONS
WOOD AND COAL STOVES
The DTC chimney has been designed for use with
wood, gas, oil, and coal in residential, commercial
and industrial applications, specially developed for
use with controlled-combustion stoves and wood
burning fireplace .
In the USA, DTC is listed to UL-103HT, 2100°F in
diameters of 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 inches.
In Canada, DTC is listed to ULC-S629, 2100° F in
diameters 6, 7, and 8 inches for wood/coal application.
In Canada, DTC is also designed for use with gas or
oil fired heating appliances such as furnaces, water
heaters, and other appliances, as per ULC-S604 in
diameter 5 to 10 inches.
If you are planning to install a wood stove, we rec-
ommend that you:
1. Choose the right size stove. Do not buy one larger
than you need.
2. Connect only one appliance to a chimney.
3. Never overfire your stove. If any part of the stove or
stove pipe is glowing red, then you are overfiring.
Immediately close the stove's dampers until the
system cools. The high temperature caused by
overfiring can permanently damage the stove and
stove pipe and may overheat nearby combustible
walls and furniture.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
4. Install the stove and stove pipe as described in the
installation instructions accompanying the stove.
Be certain to maintain the required clearances to
combustible construction.
5. Keep your flue gases between 300°F and 500°F.
This will maximize efficiency while minimizing con-
densation and creosote formation. Do not fill your
stove with wood and allow it to smolder for 8 to
10 hours. This condition produces large amounts
of creosote in the chimney.
6. Do not burn sea driftwood or treated wood. These
combustibles are highly corrosive to all types of
stainless steel.
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES
DTC is suitable for use with closed or opened fire-
places certified for use with the DTC.
When doing so please refer to the fireplace installation
instruction to install the chimney.
