Chimney Connection
The chimney connector is ether a single or double walled pipe, depending on the type of installation,
used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the stove the chimney connector MUST be 6”
in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel.
Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the stove. These materials cannot
withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.
NOTE:
Listed vent connectors shall be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and the connector
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
Each chimney connector or stovepipe section must be installed to
the stove flue collar and to each other with the male (crimped) end
toward the stove. See fig 5.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe
or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal
screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed
space, or through a floor 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 to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in this manual.
