TYPE OF CHIMNEY
The type of chimney must have a minimal diameter of 6'' (152 mm) and must be approved for
residential use (Can.: ULC S629; EU. UL 103HT), the evacuation duct must never pass through an
attic, cupboard, closet or any other enclosed area, as well as a floor, ceiling or a partition made of
combustibles materials.
To continue the installation of the chimney, please refer to the chosen chimney manufacturer's

CHIMNEY
The stove must not be connected to any other distribution system: such as an incinerator, heating
system or ventilation system.
This unit requires a masonry chimney or a certified (2100) prefabricated chimney, and its
components must conform to the Canadian Standards and must have appropriate dimensions
.
If the chimney is a masonry one, we recommend you have it inspected and repaired if needed. A
chimney with a stainless liner may be necessary to reduce the diameter to a more effective
dimension.
To obtain a more suitable draft, the top of the chimney must be 3' higher than its exit point from the
roof and must be at least 2' higher than the highest roof top point within a 10' radius.
The chimney pipes should never pass through an attic, cupboard, closet or any other enclosed
area, or a floor, ceiling or a partition made of combustible materials
For the connection of the wood stove to the chimney, choose a 24 gauges sheet pipe. Make sure
that the bore is equal to the diameter of the connection. (Never use a coated sheet).
MINIMUM HEIGHT OF THE CHIMNEY
The chimney must extend at least 3' (915 mm) past its point of contact with the roof and must be at
least 2' (610 mm) any walls, roof or building in a radius of 10 ' (3050 mm). If the chimney exceeds
the roof by 5' (1525 mm) or more, it must have a chimney brace
.
