INSTALLATION

MASONRY CHIMNEY

For optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6" stainless steel liner. Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce efficiency, cause the glass to darken, and produce excessive creosote.

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211. It must have at least a 5/8" (16mm) fire clay liner or a listed chimney liner system. See Figure 8. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. It is best to have the chimney inspected by a professional and be sure to have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.

The flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. NFPA 211 allows the cross-sectional area of the flue to be no more than 3 times the cross-sectional area of the flue collar of the stove (28 x 3 = 84 square inches). It is recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter be relined, since the oversized flue can cause poor performance and contribute to the accumulation of creosote. (See page 36 for more information about troubleshooting draft problems).

NOTE; Never install more than one appliance to any chimney.

Check with your local building authorities or consult the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211). Refer to Figure 9 (on page 15) and Figures 10 & 11 (on page 17).
