Heartland The Artisan Stove User Manual

Connection Requirements
1. The chimney connector should be made of 24 gauge or
thicker sheet metal and should be 6” in diameter.
2. The last section of the chimney connector starting from
the stove should be screwed to the ue collar of the stove
with at least 3 self -tapping screws. Individual sections of
the chimney connector must be screwed together with at
least three sheet metal screws. The last section should
be securely attached to the chimney. Be sure there are
no “weak links” in the system.
3. The crimped ends of pipe sections should point downward
toward the stove so that any soot or creosote that falls
from the inside of the pipe will be funnelled into a clean
out or fall into the stove.
4. A horizontal run of chimney connector should be no
longer than 10 inches. A vertical run of stovepipe to a
prefabricated metal chimney should be no longer than
8 ft.
5. Do not pass the stovepipe chimney connector through
a combustible wall if it can be avoided. If this cannot be
avoided, follow the recommendation in CSA B365 in
Canada and NFPA 211 in the U.S., recommendation on
Wall Pass-Throughs.
6. Do not use single wall chimney connector as an outside
chimney.
7. Never pass a chimney connector through a combustible
ceiling.
8. The whole chimney connector should be exposed and
accessible for inspection and cleaning.
9. Galvanized stovepipe should not be used. When exposed
to the temperatures reached by smoke and exhaust
gases, galvanized pipe may release toxic fumes.
10. Horizontal runs of chimney connector should slope upward
1/4” per foot going from the stove toward the chimney.
11. During a chimney re, the chimney connector may vibrate
violently. The connector must be securely attached to
the pipe and chimney, and individual sections must be
securely attached together.
12. This stove is not to be connected to an air distribution
Horizontal Connection
The Heartland Artisan has the ability to connect stove pipe
out the top of the ue box vertically or out the back of the
ue box horizontally.
To run horizontally out the back of the ue box, remove
plate from rear of the ue box by loosening 5/16" nut on
the inside of the ue box hold down. Ensure rope gasket
insulation is intact on plate perimeter. Remove ue collar
from top of ue box by removing one screw and small
bracket. Set screw and bracket aside and loosen only
screw on opposite side.Flue collar can now be removed.
Interchange position of the removed ue collar and the ue
plate..Ensure the two tabs on the ue collar are securely
tightened inside ue box. Ensure rope gasket is tight on
plate for proper seal.Tighten 5/16" nut on plate hold down.
Make sure all connections are tightly sealed.
All horizontal stove pipe must slope slightly upwards a
minimum of 1/4 per foot (6mm per 0.3m). This slope is
to allow water vapour to drain back into the stove. All
connections must be tight and secured by a minimum
of three equally spaced sheet metal screws. Under no
condition should the chimney connector have more than
one 90 degree bend or two 45 degree bends.
Guidelines for Installing the Chimney
Connector
The chimney connector is a single-wall pipe or a listed and
approved double-wall pipe that connects the stove to the
chimney. Approved clearances change according to what
type of chimney connector you use. Consult the clearances
section of this manual for the proper clearances. The stove's
ue collar accepts only 6" chimney connector.
Follow the chimney manufacturer's direction for installation.
We recommend that prior to installing your stove into a
masonry chimney, you have the chimney inspected by
a qualied mason. Note: Canadian installations into a
masonry chimney MUST be fully relined with a listed solid
fuel chimney liner.
