1.2 Flue Connection
The stove is supplied from the factory with a flue collar fitted to the top plate.
The flue collar is from the factory prepared for fitting the enlosed 6 inche adapter.
Use a 24 MSG black or blue chimney connector or listed double wall chimney connector.
Refer to local codes and the chimney manufacturer's instructions for precautions required
for passing a chimney through a combustible wall or ceiling. Remember to secure the chim-
ney connector with a minimum of three screws to the product and to each adjoining sec-
tion.
Position the stove and connect to the flue system.
Wear gloves and protective eyewear when drilling, cutting or joining sections of chim-
ney connector.
1.3 Connection to the existing chimney
A Chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe that connects the stove to the chim-
ney. The chimney itself is the masonry or prefabricated structure that encloses the flue. Chim-
ney connectors are used only to connect the stove to the chimney.
Double-wall connectors must be tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning applianc-
es. Single-wall connectors should be made of 24 gauge or heavier gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized connector; it cannot withstand the high-temperatures that smoke and exhaust
gases can reach, and may release toxic fumes under high heat. The connector must be 6
inches (150mm) in diameter.
If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through a combustible wall or ceiling.
If passage through a combustible wall is unavoidable, refer to the sections on Wall Pass-
Throughs. Do not pass the connector through an attic, a closet or similar concealed space
when installing the chimney connectors.
It is important to keep the flue gases moving smoothly in the right direction. Do not vent
into a large void at this location; rather form one continuous section all the way up. Use mild
bends (e.g. 45º vs. 90º) rather than sharp angles where a change of direction is required. All
parts of the venting must be accessible for cleaning purposes.
Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are correct distances from near by
combustible materials. See the clearance paragraph page 12.
