Connection To A Masonry Chimney - HearthStone Phoenix 8612 Owner's Manual

Consider two primary elements when connecting
your stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself
and the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the
chimney. Use only Code approved masonry
chimneys with a flue liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks,
loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and
blockage. If the chimney needs repairs, complete
them before installing and using your stove. Do not
install your stove until the chimney is pronounced
safe for use.
Make sure the chimney's cleanout is complete and
working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, ensure the
cleanout closes tightly.
Make sure the size of the chimney's flue is
appropriate for this stove, and that it is not too large.
Use a masonry chimney with an 8" x 8" (203 mm x
203 mm) maximum tile size for best results.
oversized flue will contribute to the accumulation of
creosote.
