Do not use galvanized chimney connector; it cannot withstand the high temperatures that can be reached by smoke and exhaust gases and it may release toxic fumes under high heat.

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

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 accesso- ries 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 adapters attach directly to the chimney or to the chimney's ceiling support package, while the bottom of the adapter 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. Any soot or creosote falling from the inner walls of the chimney will stay inside the chimney connector.

Securing the Connector to a Masonry Chimney

The Sequoia may be connected to either a freestand- ing masonry chimney or a masonry fireplace chimney.

Freestanding Installations

If the chimney connector must pass through a combus- tible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommen- dations in the wall pass-through section that follows.

The opening through the chimney wall to the flue (the “breech”) must be lined with either a ceramic or metal cylinder, called the “thimble”, which is securely ce- mented in place. (Fig. 5) Most chimney breeches incorporate thimbles, but check to be sure the fit is snug and the joint between thimble and chimney wall firmly cemented.

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 can eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections. Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.
