CONNECTOR PIPE INSTAllATION
1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe fits
into the stove flue collar.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 5).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90 degree bends be used in the stovepipe installation. The use of more than two 90 degree
bends may decrease the amount of draw and
possibly cause smoke spillage. Where possible,
use only corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows.
These provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page 17). A UL 103 HT
Listed (U.S.) or ULC-S629 (CANADA) chimney must be used from the first penetration of
ceiling or wall to the chimney cap. Never use
single wall connector pipe as a chimney - a
house fire could result.
NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INClUDED.
