Part 3 Flue System
This stove is designed to connect to a flue system such as masonry or a
pre-manufactured lined pipe system that meets local code requirements. If you
plan to use an existing masonry chimney, the inside should be checked for cracks
in the liner. If there is no liner in the chimney we recommend installing a
stainless steel liner. If you already have a steel liner, it should be carefully
checked for buckling, warping, or cracks prior to installation. With either type
system, it is absolutely necessary to clean it prior to installation of this stove.
A qualified chimney sweep can clean and inspect your system, and in a lot of
cases find problems the homeowner might overlook. The sweep can normally
do chimney repairs or recommend a qualified person to do so.
WARNING: Do not connect this stove to a flue system serving another heating
appliance.

REQUIRED FLUE SIZE
The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar on
the unit. The 627/629 model is equipped with a five-inch (5") flue collar, and
the others six-inch (6"). This stove would require a six-inch (6") pipe and bend,
smaller diameter pipe should never be used. The area of the chimney liner should
be greater than the area of the flue collar on the stove, but never more than three
times greater.
Example: The area of a six inch (6") flue collar is 28.87 square inches; therefore,
the area of the flue liner should not be more than 84.8 square inches.
CAUTION: The connector pipe should be a 24-gauge steel pipe or cast iron pipe
and must be eighteen inches (18") away from a combustible wall or ceiling. If you
are using double wall or shielded pipe the clearance can be reduced to six inches
(6"). Please follow the pipe manufacturer's instructions for passing through
combustible walls and ceilings. Check your local codes prior to installation.
