Hitzer 55 Installating And Operation Manual page 7

Chimney connector pipe (stove pipe) must be made of at least 24 gauge metal
U.L. tested pipe and be attached with crimped ends facing the stove. A minimum
of 3 screws is required at each connection point.
Masonry or manufactured thimble must be longer than the thickness of the wall
and does not intrude into chimney more than 2".
Thimble may be constructed of approved clay liner thimble tested and labeled.
With a 12" non-combustible clearance zone on each side of thimble. Please use
NFPA 211 instructions and requirements in regarding thimble information.
Thimble may be a manufactured thimble or class A chimney pipe. A
manufactured component must be installed with listed components accessories
and meet manufacturer's specifications.
It is required to have thimble clearances to combustible material as required by
manufacturer and NFPA 211.
NFPA 211 codes must be followed and an 18" clearance to combustible material
is required for chimney connectors.
At least 2" clearance of fireproof material is required for protection through the
wall thimble of Class A insulated chimney pipe and follow manufacturers
specifications.
A protective and UL listed and labeled floor pad must be used if placed on a
combustible floor material. This protective floor pad must have an insulating
factor of K-0-84. A solid non-combustible material such as brick or concrete
does not require an additional pad.
DO NOT install in a garage.
Connecting Stove to Chimney: Connection of stove to the chimney should be
made as direct as possible. Not recommended to use more then 2 elbows for
venting. The pipe connecting the stove to the chimney should be at least 24 gauge
single wall pipe. Thicker gauges and double wall pipe may be used. A ¼ inch slope,
back toward the stove, per foot of horizontal run is required. This allows any
condensation forming in the pipe to flow back toward the stove. The connection pipe
should be installed so the upper pipe fits inside the lower pipe. Horizontal run pipe
should have the seam turned up. Note the point at which the flue passes through a
wall to the chimney. This penetration should be made with a class A chimney pipe
and used with the listed proper accessories according to manufacturer's instructions.
Chimney connector (stove pipe) CANNOT pass through a ceiling, wall, concealed
space, or enter the chimney. Three screws must be attached at each connection
point of the chimney connector. When the Class A chimney pipe connects to the
masonry, it must be cemented to the chimney, or a thimble must be connected to the
chimney and the pipe should be tightly inserted into the thimble without cementing.
