• Flue pipes must be at least 24 gauge in thickness.
• Flue pipe joints should overlap 30 mm (1 1/4 in.)
• Each joint in the assembly must be fastened with at least three screws.
• The assembly must have allowance for expansion: elbows in assemblies allow for expansion; straight
assemblies should include an inspection wrap with one end unfastened, or a telescopic section.
• Minimum upward slope towards the chimney: 20 mm/m (1/4 in/ft.).
• One end of the assembly must be securely fastened to the flue collar with 3 sheet metal screws and
the other end securely fastened to the chimney.
• There must be provision for cleaning of the pipes, either through a clean out or by removal of the
pipe assembly. Removal of the assembly should not require that the stove be moved.
• The male ends of the sections must be oriented towards the appliance so that falling dust and
condensation stay inside the pipe.
• A flue pipe must never pass through a combustible floor or ceiling or through an attic, roof space,
closet or concealed space.
• Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
A straight up connector assembly needs either a telescopic length or an inspection wrap (pipe
coupler) to allow it to be assembled and disassembled without moving the stove.
A straight flue pipe assembly offers the least restriction to gas flow and results in stronger
draft. Straight assemblies also need less maintenance because there are no corners to collect
creosote.
The chimney connector must be in good condition.
