Connecting to a Prefabricated Metal

When connecting the Mansfield to a prefabricated
metal chimney, you must follow, precisely, the
manufacturer's installation instructions.

contributes to creosote accumulation. (In this case,
bigger is NOT better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install
with your stove, be sure to also purchase from the
same manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling
support package), "T" section package, fire-stops
(when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,
chimney cap, and any other needed accessories.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing
the chimney and accessories. In addition, be sure to
maintain all manufacturer's recommendations for the
proper clearances to the chimney.
There are basically two ways to install a prefabricated
metal chimney:
1. An interior installation where the chimney passes
inside the residence through the ceiling and roof.
2. An exterior installation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the stove then up the
outside of the residence.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An
interior chimney heats up more quickly and retains its
heat; thus promotes a better draft and discourages
the formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does
not benefit from the warmth of being surrounded by
the building, so it typically operates at lower flue
temperatures than an interior chimney. An exterior
chimney's draft is not as strong and may experience
increased creosote accumulation.
Connection To A Masonry Chimney
Consider two primary elements when connecting
your stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself
and the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the
chimney.
Use only Code approved masonry
chimneys with a flue liner. See figure 12 for
instructions on installing a thimble into a masonry
chimney or masonry fireplace.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks,
loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration and
blockage.
If the chimney needs repair, complete
them before installing and using your stove. Do not
install your stove until the chimney is safe for use.
Make sure the chimney's cleanout is complete and
working properly.
cleanout must close off completely.
