Required installation components:
Chimney cap
Insulated chimney
Storm collar

Ceiling support box or joist shield/fire stop spacer
Chimney connector pipe
Chimney connector adapter
Chimney connection
The chimney connector is a single or double walled pipe
used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with
the HWAM wood-burning stoves the chimney connector
MUST be 6" in diameter, with a minimum thickness of
24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel
Aluminum and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable
for use with the HWAM wood-burning stove. These
materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures
of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must
be connected to the stove flue collar and to each
other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove.
