INSTALLATION:
IF THIS SOLID FUEL ROOM HEATER IS NOT
PROPERLY INSTALLED A HOUSE FIRE MAY
RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT THE
LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION
INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
TOP OR REAR EXIT FLUE
The Firelight CB is shipped with the flue collar, gasketing
and hardware inside the stove. To install the flue collar
in the top or rear exit position remove the tape from the
gasketing and adhere to the groove on the back of the
stove around the flue opening. Place the flue collar on
the stove in the top or rear exit position and secure with
the nut, bolt and washer. The nut and washer are placed
on the inside of the stove.
STOVE PIPE
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to
connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the
Firelight CB the chimney connector MUST be 6 in
diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black
steel.
Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable
for use with the Firelight CB. 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
installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with
the male (crimped) end toward the stove.
See figure 1.
For the best performance the chimney connector should
be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two
90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36 and a
recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed
10 feet. Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼ per
foot toward the chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an
attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or
through a floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney
connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where
passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform with
NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in
this manual.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
CHIMNEYS:
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the
Firelight CB:
1. A code- approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the
requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys
per UL 103 or ULC S629.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote
from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove
top. All joints, including the flue collar connection must
be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that
the sections do not separate.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
Reminder:
Your local officials have final authority in determining
if a proposed installation is acceptable. Any
requirement, that is requested by the local authority
having jurisdiction, that is not specifically addressed
in THIS manual, defaults to NFPA 211, and local
codes in the U.S. or in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M
and local codes.
