3. MOUNTING THE FREESTANDING KIT
Tool needed: Drill
A) Remove the wooden blocks from the bottom of the 
stove. A drill may be used to remove the screws.

B) Position the pedestal on the bottom of the stove so that 
the “turned in” flanges are against the bottom of the stove. 
The front flange corners should be aligned with the widest 
stove corners.

C) Attach the pedestal using the drill screws provided. Drill 
into the holes after the pedestal is positioned correctly. The 
screws will make their own holes in the stove bottom.

4. CHIMNEY INSTALLATION (GENERAL)
A) The single wall stove pipe used to connect the stove to 
the flue, whether masonry or factory-built, must be a 
minimum of 24-gauge blue or black steel.

B) Secure every pipe joint with three or more sheet metal 
screws to prevent accidental separation.

C) If an elbow is installed, the horizontal section of the 
stove pipe should slope 1/4” per foot, or run toward the 
stove to allow creosote to drip into the firebox.

D) Always install the single wall stove pipe with the male 
(crimped) end down to prevent leakage of creosote or 
moisture.  

5. INSTALLATION INTO MASONRY FLUE
Masonry flue for use with solid fuel appliances must meet 
the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S 
CODE 211 specifications.

Connection to the masonry flue is made with a masonry or 
terra-cotta type thimble cemented firmly in place.

Material around the thimble connection must provide 
adequate protection from fire. Use either 24” of solid 
masonry or an approved insulated connector.

Stove pipe should be inserted far enough into the thimble 
to assure a good connection, but must not extend past the 
flue lining.

Do not use more than one elbow in the stove pipe.
