2. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is approved to use any UL-Listed legally rated 3-inch (7.62 cm) double
wall (18-gauge stainless steel lined) multi-fuel pellet pipe as a connector form the flue outlet on the stove. We
recommend BioVent® Multi-Fuel Insulated Pellet Venting, available from Unforgettable Fire™ or your
authorized Kimberly™ dealer. A minimum of 5 feet (152.40 cm) is recommended. All joints must be secured
with at least 3 self-tapping screws per joint. In addition, ALL wall, ceiling, attic, and roof penetrations must
include approved wall thimble and/or rafter radiation shields using 6-inch (15.24 cm) Type 103 HT (U.S.) or
ULC S629 (Canada) Class-A as a conduit in any and all pass-through areas, in accordance with UL-Listed
wood stove installations, and must meet all county and state requirements for such installations. Never utilize
make-shift compromises during installation.
!
3. CANADA: No chimney connector shall pass through an attic or roof space, closet, or similar concealed
space, or a floor, or ceiling. 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.

4. To remove any pre-existing creosote and ashes, the chimney should be professionally cleaned.

5. Install a heat and ember resistant flood pad. See Floor Protection requirements and Diagram #6.

7. The pre-existing Type 103HT (U.S.) or ULC629 (Canada) Class-A UL-Listed factory-built thimble and
chimney pipe should remain in place at the ceiling through the attic and roof. Any Class-A pipe beneath the
ceiling thimble can be removed. The 3-inch pellet pipe will connect to the Kimberly™ wood stove heater and
will exit inside and at the top of the Class-A pipe.
