Locate the termination of the duct on the outside
wall of the home in such a manner to avoid the
possibility of obstruction by snow, leaves or other
material. Screen the termination using ¼" x ¼" mesh
rodent screen and cover it with a rain/wind proof
hood (flex pipe, outside termination, mesh, and hood
supplied by others) Contact your
availability).

ONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE USED BY ANOTHER APPLIANCE
Single wall connector that is at least 24 MSG or
25 MSG blued steel stovepipe.
Double wall connector (Rear pipe) which is used
with a listed, factory-built "Type HT" chimney or
with a masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is
available from several manufacturers, your dealer
can help you choose. Some air insulated
connector pipe models available are Simpson
Dura Vent DVL and Metalbestos DS. Security,
GSW and Ameritec also have acceptable Rear
connector pipe.
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester is
required. (See page 16)
The chimney connector cannot pass through a
floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet
or similar concealed space. Where venting
requires passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction, the installation must
conform to NFPA Code 211 or CAN/CSA -
B365.
It is very important to follow minimum clearances
for chimney connectors to combustibles such as
walls and ceilings when installing the stove.
Typical chimney connector clearances are
outlined below. The single wall clearances are
generic; the double wall clearances shown are
specifically for Simpson DuraVent DVL and may
vary
with
other
specifications from the manufacturer of your
connector.

The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall
pass-through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely
necessary that you install all of these components

and maintain the clearances to combustibles
discussed earlier to ensure a safe stove installation.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you
must properly install and constantly maintain the
venting
system.
replace rusted, cracked, or broken components.
The chimney connector is the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney
connector stovepipe is 6" (152 mm) diameter, 24
MSG or 25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do
not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe - they
cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a
wood fire.
The thimble is a manufactured (or site-
constructed) device installed in combustible
walls through which the chimney connector
passes to the chimney. It keeps the walls from
igniting. You must use a wall thimble when
installing a chimney connector through a
combustible wall to the chimney.
A wall pass-through (or chimney support
package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use one when connecting through a wall or
ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.
Only install this stove to a lined masonry
chimney or an approved high temperature
prefabricated residential type building heating
appliance chimney. Do not connect this stove to
a chimney serving another appliance; you will
compromise the safe operation of both the wood
stove and the connected appliance.
A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory
built fireplace or 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.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

Attach stovepipe sections to the flue collar 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 on the outside of the
stovepipe or onto the stove.
