Venting Guidelines:
ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence to the instructions and clearances included with
your venting system.
• DO NOT connect this wood stove to a chimney flue which also serves another appliance.
• DO NOT install a flue pipe damper
or any other restrictive device in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
• USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling support/fire stop
when passing through a ceiling.
• INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint.
• AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of the venting
system and will result in poor stove performance.
• INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly‐ash and other
restrictions.
• CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this manual.
• ADHERE to the 10‐3‐2 rule regarding chimney terminations.
• INSTALL single wall chimney connector with the male end down to prevent creosote leakage.
Follow double wall chimney connector manufacturer's instructions regarding proper pipe
installation.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if touched. Noncombustible
shielding or guards may be required
The 10‐3‐2 Rule: The chimney system must terminate 3.0 ft above the point where it's centerline
passes through the roof AND the chimney must terminate 2.0 ft. above part of the dwelling within
a 10 ft. radius of the chimney.
