securely in place. Most chimney breeches incorporate thimbles, but the fit must be snug and the joint between the thimble and the chimney wall must be cemented firmly.

A special piece called the “thimble sleeve,” slightly smaller in diameter than standard connectors and most thimbles, will facilitate the removal of the chimney connector system for inspection and cleaning. (fig. 7) Thimble sleeves are available from your local dealer.

To install a thimble sleeve, slide it into the breech 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.

Fig. 7 The thimble, made of either ceramic or metal, must be cemented securely in place.

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.

Without a thimble, a suitable length of chimney con- nector can be extended through the breech to the inner face of the flue liner, and cemented securely in place. Additional pieces of connector are then attached with

sheet metal screws.

Fireplace Installations

The chimney connector may be connected to the chimney above the fireplace opening or through the fireplace.

Above the Fireplace

The Defiant may be connected to a chimney above a fireplace opening. (Fig. 8) In such installations, the stove is positioned on the hearth in front of the fireplace and the chimney connector rises from the stove top and then angles ninety degrees back into the chimney. The chimney liner should extend to the point at which the chimney connector enters the chimney.

Fig. 8 In this installation, the chimney connector attaches to the chimney above the fireplace opening.

If the chimney connector in your installation enters the chimney above a fireplace, follow all the guidelines mentioned above for freestanding installations. In addi- tion, give special consideration to the following points:

•Check the clearance between the stove and the chimney connector, and any combustible trim or the mantel.

•Check the clearance between the chimney connec- tor and the ceiling. The clearance should be at least 30” (762 mm) with unshielded connectors. Consult the clearance charts for other installation options.

•The fireplace damper must be sealed to prevent room air from escaping up the flue. However, it
