NSTALLING A ENTING
Attach the stovepipe sections 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 on the outside of the
stovepipe, onto the stove, or on the floor.
Secure all joints, including the connection where the
stovepipe attaches to the stove's flue collar, with
three sheet metal screws. Failure to properly secure
the connections can result in joint failures with the
stovepipe vibrating apart in the event of a creosote
chimney fire. Holes pre-drilled in the flue collar accept
#10 (1/8") x ½" (3 mm x 13mm) sheet metal screws.
Additional stovepipe accessories such as telescoping
pipes, draw-bands, slip connectors, and clean-out
tees greatly simplify the installation of stovepipe.
These accessories also allow for easy dismantling of
the stovepipe without moving the stove when you
periodically inspect the stovepipe connection and
chimney.
Long runs of stovepipe to increase heat dispersal
are not recommended. The longer the stovepipe
length and/or the larger the number of elbows, the
greater the chance of draft resistance, and the
greater the chance for creosote accumulation. In the
past, installers strove for long runs of pipe to increase
the heat dispersal. Because of the Phoenix's high
efficiency, however, this is unnecessary, and unwise.
Make the stovepipe as short and straight as possible.
Install the stove as close as practical (maintaining all
proper clearances) to the chimney. Ensure horizontal
runs of pipe always rise away from the stove at a
minimum of ¼" per foot (21 mm/m).
In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe
damper with the Phoenix.
however, could benefit from a stovepipe damper,
such as a very tall chimney which can create a higher
than normal draft. In such cases, a damper can help
regulate the draft. The Phoenix requires a draft
between 0.06" water column (wc) and 0.1" wc. For
drafts above 0.1" wc, install a stovepipe damper.
Remember, the NFPA provides 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 also important to maintain
these connector clearances for the remainder of the
installation.

HIMNEY
When connecting the Phoenix to a prefabricated
metal chimney, you must follow, precisely, the
manufacturer's installation instructions.
Type HT (2100 deg. F), prefabricated metal chimneys
listed per UL 103 or ULC S629 standards.
WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Ensure the size of the chimney's flue is appropriate
for the Phoenix. The Phoenix requires a 6" (152 mm)
inside diameter flue for new installations.
diameter flue provides
performance. You can use an 8" (203 mm) diameter
existing flue with a reducer. An oversized flue
contributes to creosote accumulation. (In this case,
bigger is NOT better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install
with your stove, be sure to also purchase from the
same manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling
support package), "T" section package, fire-stops,
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any
other required accessories.

maintain all manufacturers' recommendations for the
proper clearances to the chimney.
There are two ways to install a prefabricated metal
chimney:
•
An interior installation where the chimney passes
inside the residence
additional floors or attic, and the roof.
•
An exterior installation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the stove then up the
outside of the residence to a point above the roof.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney
installation. An interior chimney heats up more
rapidly and retains its heat; thus promoting a better
draft and discouraging the formation of creosote. An
exterior chimney does not benefit from the warmth of
being surrounded by the building, so it typically
operates at lower flue temperatures.
chimney's draft is not as strong and may experience
increased creosote accumulation.
