There are two separate and different parts to a ue system: the chimney
connector and the chimney itself.
A. Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be at least 24 gauge
mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections must be attached to the
stove and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward
the stove. See Figure 7. All joints, including the connection at the
stove collar, should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Make
sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles as set out on
pages 8 and 9 of this manual. Where passage through the wall, or
partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
B. Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented). A listed connector
(vented) must be used when installing this unit in a mobile home. A
Listed chimney and Listed connector must be used. It must be the
same brand as the listed chimney to ensure a proper t and seal.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
WARNING: ALWAYS FOLLOW CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE STOVE AND CEILING
WALL, NEVER PASSING THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE CEILING OR WALL. THE CONNECTOR SHALL NOT
PASS THROUGH AN ATTIC OR ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR A FLOOR,
OR CEILING. MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REFERENCED ON PAGES 9,
10 & 11.
WARNING: IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN
GOOD CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211. A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY MUST BE 6” UL 103 HT.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH/152mm DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR
ON THE UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR
PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET
ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.
INSTALLATION
VENTING SYSTEM
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures
inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote re. To protect against the possibility of
a house re, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. An approved thimble
must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package
must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are
absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting manufacturer’s
clearances when installing venting system.
This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed high temperature prefabricated approved
metal chimney. Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will affect the safe operation
of both appliances.
