Double-wall Chimney Connector

Information on assembling and installing double-wall connector is provided by the manufacturer of the double-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 on Page 9.

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

•Secure the chimney connector to the chimney. In- structions 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 adapters are available from your local dealer to make the connection between the prefabricated chim- ney and the chimney connector. The top of such adapt- ers 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 adapters 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 II.

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. 4)
