Installing A Venting System; Connecting Your Wood Stove; Connecting To A Prefabricated Metal Chimney - HearthStone Craftsbury 8390 Owner's Manual

operation of both the wood stove and the
connected appliance.
▌ WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• A liner (listed to UL 1777 or ULC S635)
creates an acceptable flue in a factory built
fireplace or in an existing masonry chimney.
You must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those recommended in this
manual. Do not use stovepipe as a chimney.
Use stovepipe for freestanding installations only
to connect the stove to a proper chimney.

NSTALLING A ENTING
Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove
and to each other with the crimped end toward
the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows the
creosote to run into the stove and not the outside
of the stovepipe and onto the stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the
stovepipe to the stove's flue collar, with three
sheet metal screws. Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x
13 mm) sheet metal screws into the holes pre-
drilled in the flue collar. Failure to install the
screws can cause joints to separate from the
intense vibration that results from a creosote
chimney fire.
You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using
additional accessories such as telescoping pipes,
slip-connectors or clean-out tees.
accessories ease the inspection of your chimney,
as well as allow you to easily dismantle the
stovepipe (without moving the stove) when you
periodically inspection or clean the stovepipe
connection and chimney.

Install the stove as close as practical to the
chimney, while
clearances. Install stovepipe that is as short and
as straight as possible.
stovepipe should always rise away from the
stove a minimum of 1/4" per foot (21mm/m).
Long runs of stovepipe to increase heat
dispersal are not recommended. Using longer
lengths of stovepipe or more connecting elbows
than necessary increase the chances of draft
resistance and the accumulation of creosote
buildup.
In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe
damper with the Craftsbury. Some installations,
however, could benefit from a stovepipe
damper, such as a tall chimney which can create
a higher than normal draft. In such cases, a
damper can help regulate the draft.
Craftsbury requires a draft between 0.06" wc
and 0.1" wc. For drafts above 0.1" wc, install a
stovepipe damper.
Remember, the NFPA has recommended,
minimum clearances for chimney connectors to
combustibles such as walls and ceilings. Once
the stove is installed at safe distances from these
combustible surfaces, it is important to maintain
these connector clearances for the remainder of
the installation.
