Chimney Connection - Hi-Flame GloFire 905 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Chimney connection

The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the
chimney. For use with the appliance the chimney connector MUST be 6" in diameter,
with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel.
Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the appliance. These
materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off
toxic fumes when heated.
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
Each chimney connector or stovepipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar
and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove. See fig 5.

This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the
outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must
be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as
possible, with no more than two 90 elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36" and a

recommended total length of stovepipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope
horizontal runs upward ¼" per foot toward the chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or
other concealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors
must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform with NFPA 211, and is
also addressed in this manual.
