Connector Pipe Installation - Vogelzang International BX26E Owner's Manual

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION

1. The smooth end of the stovepipe fits over the
cast iron damper collar.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4" per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 3).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installation.

Fig. 3 – Stovepipe/Flue Connections
The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly cause
smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. A UL 103 HT Listed chimney
must be used from the first penetration of ceil-
ing or wall to the chimney cap. Never use
single wall connector pipe as a chimney - a
house fire could result.
