INSTALLATION
MASONRY CHIMNEY
For optimal performance, masonry chimneys
used to vent this appliance should be lined with
a 6" stainless steel liner. Installations into a clay
flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce
efciency, cause the glass to darken, and produce
excessive creosote.
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the
minimum standards of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) Standard 211. It must have
at least a 5/8" (16mm) re clay liner or a listed
chimney liner system. See Figure 8. Make sure
there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of
deterioration and blockage. It is best to have the
chimney inspected by a professional and be sure
to have the chimney cleaned before the stove is
installed and operated.
The ue should be checked to determine that it
is not too large for the stove. NFPA 211 allows
the cross-sectional area of the ue to be no more
than 3 times the cross-sectional area of the ue
collar of the stove (28 x 3 = 84 square inches). It is
recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter
be relined, since the oversized ue can cause poor
performance and contribute to the accumulation of
creosote. (See page 36 for more information about
troubleshooting draft problems).
NOTE; Never install more than one appliance
to any chimney.
When connecting the stove through a combus-
tible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods
are needed. There are several ways to make
this connection, including the construction of a
masonry thimble. This installation shall conform to
CAN/CSA-B365. Check with your local building
authorities or consult the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA 211). Refer to Figure 9 (on
page 15) and Figures 10 & 11 (on page 17).
