LOCATING STOVE
1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe fits into
the stove flue collar.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of hori-
zontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue (figure
5).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three sheet metal
screws at each joint to make the piping rigid. Screws
may be no more than a maximum of 3˝/76mm apart.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90
degree bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90 degree bends
may decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These provide
a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an at-
tic or roof space, closet, or any concealed space,
or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible construction.
(See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances,
page 11). A UL 103 HT Listed (U.S.) or ULC-S629
(CANADA) chimney must be used from the first
penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney cap.
Never use single wall connector pipe as a chimney
- a house fire could result.
