Chimney Connector Requirements
•
Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see
Figure 5) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).
•
The chimney connector must be 6" diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, 26 gauge blued
steel, or one of the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials can not withstand the flue
temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.
NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not).
•
The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see "Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE
CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.
•
The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180
o
90
elbows, or two 45
chimney).. Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4" per foot and be a maximum 36" long.
•
The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 4).
This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.
•
The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).
