Installation of a New Flue System 

1. 

Masonry Flue:

 In the event that you plan to install a flue system or have a flue 

system installed, there are several avenues you can take. In the middle and late 
Seventies masonry flue systems became very popular, and are satisfactory 
systems to have today. If you are considering a masonry system, you should 
consult your local building officials for the proper procedures in construction of this 
type flue system. We recommend you consult with and have your flue built by a 
licensed, bonded contractor. 

     Most masonry flues are placed against the outside wall and extend upward 
above the roof. The flue thimble is then inserted through the wall, making the 
connection with the vertical flue and the stovepipe. Exercise extreme caution when 
drilling through the wall; you must maintain the proper clearance between the 
connecting liner and any combustibles in the wall. 
 
     We also recommend that you have a flue door located at least two feet (2’) 
below your flue thimble connection for easy access and clean-out. You should 
make this door as airtight as possible. It is the responsibility of the consumer to 
ensure the chimney or flue system is in good operating condition. 

The 

manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident attributed to a unit 
connected to a faulty chimney or flue system. 
 

2. 

Pre- Manufactured Flue System: 

In the past few years pre-manufactured flue 

systems have become very popular because this type system is fairly easy to install 
and, when installed correctly, is very safe. There are many pre-manufactured flue 
systems on the market from which to choose. In making your choice be sure the 
system you choose has a recognized label such as U.L., B.O.C.A. or I.C.B.O.  Any 
of these labels will ensure the flue system is constructed of the proper materials 
and meets the required safety standards. Your Englander dealer will usually handle 
a top grade and approved flue system.

There are two very popular methods for installation of a pre-manufactured flue       

system. The most popular and least expensive is through the ceiling and out the       
roof. This is the least expensive and creates a tremendous draw because less pipe       
is required. It is less expensive because insulated pipe is only needed from the           
ceiling up; single wall 24 gauge pipe is used from the unit to the ceiling. The        
second method of installation is to go through the wall and up on the outside of the

house

or

structure. This method is more expensive because more insulated pipe is       

required; you must use insulated pipe through the wall and up the outside of your       
house. If you choose to go through the ceiling or through the wall, you must       
exercise extreme caution in your installation. The proper clearances must be       
maintained with either installation. Your flue pipe manufacturer furnishes a wall       
thimble or ceiling box, and when these are installed properly the correct safety       
clearances will be met. If you choose this type system  and  are  not  qualified  to       
install it, you can contact your local dealer for a qualified contractor. It is the 
responsibility of the consumer to ensure the chimney or flue system is in good       
operating condition. 

The manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident       

attributed to a unit connected to a faulty chimney or flue system. 

*IMPROPER INSTALLATION:  

The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage 

caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting 

or

 installation.
