Double-Wall Connector

Information on assembling and installing double-wall connectors is provided by the manufacturer of the double-wall pipe. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions exactly. Most manufacturers of prefabri- cated double-wall insulated chimneys also offer double- wall connector pipes. Using a chimney and connector pipe from the same manufacturer helps simplify the assembly and installation.

NOTE: For installations using double-wall connec- tors, minimum clearances must conform to listed clearances in the Stove and Chimney Connector Clearance Charts on page 12 and 13 of this manual.

Assembling Single-Wall

Chimney Connector

SAFETY NOTE: Always wear gloves and safety goggles when drilling, cutting or joining sections of chimney connector.

For double-wall connectors, follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly. For single-wall connectors, follow the instructions below.

1.Insert the crimped end of the first section into the stove’s flue collar, and keep each crimped end pointing toward the stove (Fig.5). Using the holes in the flue col- lar as guides, drill 1/8” (3 mm) holes in the bottom of the first section of chimney connector and secure it to the flue collar with three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws.

2.Secure each joint between sections of chimney con- nector, including telescoping joints, with at least three sheet metal screws.

3.Secure the chimney connector to the chimney. In- structions for various installations follow below.

4.Confirm that the installed stove and chimney con- nector are correct distances from nearby combustible material. See the clearance charts on pages 12 and 13.

NOTE: Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form telescoping joints between sections of chimney con- nector are available to simplify installations. They can eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections. Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.

Securing the Connector

to a Prefabricated Chimney

Follow the installation instructions of the chimney manufacturer exactly as you install the chimney. The manufacturer of the chimney will supply the acces- sories to support the chimney, either from the roof of the house, at the ceiling of the room where the stove is installed, or from an exterior wall.

Special adaptors are available from your local dealer to make the connection between the prefabricated chimney and the chimney connector. (Fig. 6) The top of such adaptors attach directly to the chimney or to the chimney’s ceiling support package, while the bottom of the adaptor is screwed to the chimney connector.

These adaptors are designed so the top end will fit outside the inner wall of the chimney, and the bottom end will fit inside the first section of chimney connector. Any soot or creosote falling from the inner walls of the chimney will stay inside the chimney connector.
