II. Flue Systems
A good chimney is essential. This room heater must be connected to (1) a listed Type HT (2100°F)
chimney per UL 103 or ULC S629, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Masonry Flue System:
It is important to make sure that the masonry chimney is structurally sound
and on a solid foundation. The masonry chimney must have a liner installed within the chimney
construction. An unlined chimney is not safe with solid fuel systems, and may result in a house fire.
The liner may be constructed with a structurally sound clay liner or a stainless steel liner. If using an
existing masonry chimney, be sure to have the chimney examined and cleaned by a chimney
professional. The structural foundation of the chimney and liner is important. If existing clay liner is
cracked or damaged, it is recommended to re-line the chimney with a stainless steel liner. Be sure the
masonry chimney is compatible with the local building codes and requirements.
Factory Built System:
The factory built chimney must be a Class A High Temperature UL tested
chimney UL 103 HT. It is required for this Class A chimney to be listed and labeled under the UL
standards. If using an existing factory built Class A chimney it must be inspected and cleaned by a
certified chimney pro
fessional, before use. With Factory Built Chimneys the chimney manufacturer’s
clearances and distance requirements must be followed. It is also important to abide by the rules and
regulations of local jurisdictions upon chimney installation. Like masonry chimneys, you can only have
one appliance per chimney, and it is not permissible to connect the Hitzer Stove to a chimney that is
servicing another appliance.
