3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
As a basic guideline…
The minimum chimney internal cross section area must be 6”
(150mm) diameter, or 6”x6” (150mm x 150mm).
The chimney must have a minimum height of 13’ (4m) measured from
the top of the stove to the top of the chimney.
The chimney must extend at least 3’ (915mm) above the highest
point where it passes through a roof, and at least 2’ (610mm) higher
than any area of a building within 10’ (3m).
A twin walled flue can be used, but the first 13” (330mm) must be
single wall, to allow the bolster lid to open.
The chimney must have been swept before installation, and free from
cracks, severe bends, voids and obstructions.
Ensure where a flue pipe connects to a chimney, the flue passes past
the point where the chimney narrows.
A flue inspection hatch should be installed, to allow for a flue draft
reading to be taken.
Ensure an appropriate flue draft, as detailed within the Flue Draft
section of this manual.
Take into consideration future access for maintenance and sweeping.
The flue must be capped / have a cowl, to prevent any ingress of rain.
A single wall starter length with a single to twin wall adapter will be
needed to use twin wall insulated flue. The stove will need to be
moved away from the wall to accommodate use of twin wall flue.
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum
standards of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure
there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of
deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned
before the appliance is installed and operated. When
connecting the appliance through a combustible wall to a
masonry chimney, special methods are needed.
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the
manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed.
You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and
install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and
