the Chimney
The Oakwood must be installed into a chimney ap-
proved for use with solid-fuel appliances. In the U.S.,
the Oakwood must be connected to (1) a prefabricated
chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT
chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built,
Residential Type and Building Heating Appliances, UL
103, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a tile
flue liner. In Canada, the Oakwood is listed for use with
prefabricated chimneys tested and listed to the high tem-
perature (650 degrees C) chimney standard, ULC S-629,
or with a code approved masonry chimney.
The minimum recommended height for any chimney
is 16 ft (4.8 m) above the flue collar height. For non-
mobile home installations, a round flue (either masonry
or approved prefabricated), of either 6" (150 mm), 7"
(180 mm) or 8" (200 mm) may be used. For square or
rectangular masonry chimneys, nominal sizes of 8" x 8"
or 8"x 12" (200 mm x 200 mm, 200 mm x 300 mm) may
be used.
Codes require that solid-fuel chimneys extend 3 ft (0.9
m) above the point at which they exit from the roof. The
chimney must extend 2 ft (6 m) above the highest point
within a 10 ft (3 m) radius of the top of the chimney. Thus,
the 2 foot, 3 foot, 10 foot rule; "The top of the chimney
must be a minimum of 3 feet above where it exits the roof,
and 2 feet higher than anything within 10 feet."
ventIng
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue
servicing another appliance.
NOTE: The restriction of not venting more than
one appliance to the same flue applies to the U.S. spe-
cifically. While it is not recommended that you use
the same chimney for more than one appliance, in
Canada certain exceptions may be made. Be sure to
contact your building code inspection official to see if
this option is allowed in your area, and to find out the
specific requirements for such an installation.
