Double-wall Chimney Connector

Information on assembling and installing double-wall connector is provided by the manufacturer of the dou- ble-wall pipe. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly as you assemble the connector and attach it to the stove and chimney. Using connectors and chim- neys from the same manufacturer makes the assembly and installation straightforward.

NOTE: For installations using double-wall con- nectors, minimum clearances must conform to the listed clearances in the clearance chart on Page 13.

Single-wall Chimney Connector

•Beginning at the flue collar of the stove, assemble the chimney connector. Insert the first crimped end into the stove’s flue collar, and keep each crimped end pointing toward the stove. Using the holes in the flue collar 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.

Instructions for various installations follow.

•Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are correct distances from nearby combustible material.

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

Securing the Single-wall Connector to a

Prefabricated Chimney

For prefabricated chimneys, follow the installation instructions of the chimney maker exactly as you install the chimney. The maker of the chimney will supply the accessories 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 chim- ney and the chimney connector. The top of such adap- tors attaches directly to the chimney or to the chimney’s ceiling support package, while the bottom of the adap- tor 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. When assembled in this way, any soot or creosote fall- ing from the inner walls of the chimney will stay inside the chimney connector.

Securing the Single-wall Connector to a

Masonry Chimney

For masonry chimneys, both freestanding and fireplace chimneys may be used for installation of your Intrepid Multi-fuel.

Freestanding Chimney Installations

If the chimney connector must pass through a combus- tible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommenda- tions in the Wall Pass-through section that follows.

The opening through the chimney wall to the flue (the “breach”) must be lined with either a ceramic or metal cylinder, called the “thimble”, which is cemented firmly in place. The fit must be snug and the joint between the thimble and the chimney wall must be cemented. (Fig. 6)

A special piece called the “thimble sleeve,” slightly smaller in diameter than standard connector and most thimbles, will facilitate the removal of the chimney con- nector system for inspection and cleaning. Thimble sleeves should be available from your local dealer. (Fig. 5)

To install a thimble sleeve, slide it into the breach until it is flush with the inner flue wall. Do not extend it into the actual flue passage, as this could interfere with the draft.

The thimble sleeve should protrude 1-2” (25-50 mm) into the room. Use furnace cement and thin gasketing to seal the sleeve in place in the thimble. Secure the chimney connector to the outer end of the sleeve with sheet metal screws.
