Chimney installation, General steps 

Use  only approved  chimneys,  the same size  as  the  output 

collar, 6 inches in this case. The chimneys used must be tested 
according  to  CAN/ULC  S629  M87  in 
Canada  and  to  UL  103  (type  HT)  in  USA. 
The  stove  can  be  install  with  a  masonry 
chimney  according  to  ULC  S635,  ULC 
S640 and UL 1777. The masonry chimney 
must  be  equipped  with  a  stainless  steel 
sleeve  and  meet  the  standards  for  the 
masonry chimney with inner sleeve.  

Provide a place to sweeping.  

It  is  preferable,  if  possible,  to  avoid  an 
outside chimney or built on an exterior wall, 
and this is even more important for colder 
areas. Outside chimneys generally have a 
less efficient draught. They can even have 
an  inverse  draught  because  it  is  hard  to 
heat  them  enough  so  that  they  can  reach 
their  operating  temperature.  A  greater 
accumulation  of  creosote,  a  less  efficient 
draught  and  a  lesser  performance  are 
some  characteristics  of  cold  chimneys. 
Draught is proportional to the total chimney height as well as its 
temperature. It is therefore possible to get a better draught by 
increasing the chimney's height and by reducing the heat loss 
with an insulated lining. The chimney has to be installed with a 
stainless steel  lining.  Make sure  that  all  smoke  pipe  joints  are 
really airtight. A leak reduces the efficiency of the appliance and 
could  even  make  its  utilization  dangerous.  Using  a  high 
temperature  silicon  or  cement  to  ensure  that  the  smoke  pipe 
joint are airtight. If the chimney pass through the exterior wall or 
insulated  roof  be  sure  the  hole  after  installation  needs  to  be 
airtightness. Use sealant to make the building airtight. 

 

Note:  This  is  a  general  chimneys  installation  method. 
Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual of the chimney 
for a more detailed method for your chimney.
 

1)  Determine the total length needed for your chimney. 

2)  Cut the holes into all floor and roof 

3)  If  you  need  to  cut  a  joist,  be  sure  to  strengthen  the 

adjacent joists and frame hole respecting the minimum 
dimensions  to  be  maintained  between  combustible 
materials  and  the  firewall.  Follow  the  manufacturer's 
instructions  in  the  manual  supplied  with  the  firestop. 

Never cut a structural beam. 

4)  Frame the holes in each level and attic respecting the 

minimum 

distance 

recommended 

by 

the 

manufacturer's manual of your chimney.  

5) 

Install firestop in each level

6)  Frame the hole into the roof. 

7)  Install the chimney support at the ceiling  where stove 

is installed. 

8)  Stack and lock the factory built chimney section on the 

support and above the roof. 

 

The  chimney  must  be  over  36  inches  (91.4 
cm)  over  the  higher  point  into  the  roof 
opening. 

 

The chimney must also be 24 inches over the 
highest point on the roof inside 10 ft (304 cm) 
radius around chimney. 

 

The  minimum  length  of  chimney  is  12  feet 
(365.8 cm). 

 

ATTENTION:  Be  sure  the  chimney  section  are  locked 
together and locked onto the chimney support. 

NOTE: More lengthen chimney than the minimum can add 
more  draft  and  help  to  the  good  working  operation  of  the 
stove  Try the minimum length first then add section if you 
need more draft. 

9)  Put the roof flashing over the chimney and seal it with 

roof caulking.

 

10)  Nail roof flashing, and reinstall roof covering.

 

11)  Slide the storm collar over the chimney and seal it with 

high temperature caulking.

 

12) 

 

Lock the chimney cap and install the spark arrestor if 

necessary  

Note:  

 

Chimney performance may vary. 

 

Buildings, trees, roof line and wind conditions affect 
performance, and can make backflow into the 
chimney. 

 

Chimney height may need adjustment if smoking or 
overdraft occurs.
