CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)

The  chimney  connector  and  chimney  must  have  the  same 

diameter  as  the  stove  outlet  (6”).  If  this  is  not  the  case,  we 

recommend you contact your dealer to ensure there will be 

no  problem  with  the  draft.  The  stovepipe  must  be  made  of 

aluminized or cold roll steel and have a minimum thickness of 

0.021” or 0.53mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. 

The  smoke  pipe  should  be  assembled  to  promote  the  male 

section (crimped end) of the pipe to be faced down. Attach 

each section to another with three equidistant metal screws. 

The  pipe  must  be  short  and  straight.  All  sections  installed 

horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the upper 

end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with 

a horizontal run of chimney pipe must conform to NFPA 211. 

Contact NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211. To 

ensure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04m). Except 

for cases of vertical installation, in a cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer and 

connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room. There should never be more than two 90 

degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system. The installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (fireplace register) 

on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore, the installation of a draft damper is not recommended. 

With a controlled combustion wood stove, the draft is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the stove 

and not at the exhaust.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is a force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney 

depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft 

may  cause  excessive  temperatures  in  the  appliance.  An  inadequate  draft  may  cause  back-puffing  into  the 

room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. An inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room 

through appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates an 

excessive draft.

CHIMNEY

Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory-

built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory-

built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 

standard;  therefore  it  must  be  a  Type  HT  (2100°F).  It 

must  be  installed  according  to  the  manufacturer’s 

specifications.  Take  into  account  the  chimney’s 

location  to  ensure  it  is  not  too  close  to  neighbors  or 

in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance 

conditions.  If  you  are  using  a  masonry  chimney,  it 

must be built in compliance with the specifications of 

the National Building Code. It must be lined with fire 

clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. Round flues are the most efficient. The interior 

diameter of the chimney flue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust. A flue which is too small may cause 

draft problems, while a large flue favors rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote and the 

risk of chimney fires. Note that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft effect; your stove’s 

performance  is  directly  dependent  on  an  adequate  draft  from  your  chimney. 

Do not connect this unit to a 

chimney flue serving another appliance.

The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:

1.  It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.

2. 

The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) distance by a 

height of 2’ (0.6m).

3. 

The  installation  of  an  interior  chimney  is  always  preferable  to  an  exterior  chimney.    Indeed,  the  interior 

chimney will, by definition, be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up by the ambient air in the 

house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool more slowly, thus reducing the build-up of creosote and 

the risk of chimney fires.

4. 

The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.

5. 

Using a fire screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection to ensure that it is not obstructed 

thus blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when used regularly.
