PIPE CONNECTOR INSTAllATION
NOTE: STOVE PIPE IS NOT INClUDED. TO

HOmE OR BUILDING CENTER. USE ROUND
6" Dia., MiNiMuM 24 MSG (minimum standard
gauge) BLACk OR 26 mSG BLUE STEEL

1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside
the stove flue collar. Install additional pipe and
elbow with the crimped end towards the stove.
This will allow any condensation in the flue to
run back into the firebox.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4" per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceil-
ing.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 10).

VGZ-025 | 201110519.0
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Sys-
tems & Clearances, page 18). A UL 103 HT
Listed chimney must be used from the first
penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney
cap.
CAUTION: NEVER USE SINGLE wALL CON-
NECTOR PIPE AS A CHImNEY - A HOUSE FIRE
COULD RESULT.
