2)Locate and remove the four bolts that hold the
3)Place the flue collar on the back of the stove over the rear flue exit with the gasket side towards the stove. Rotate the collar so the 3 chimney connector screws are easiest to access when necessary to install later. Replace the four bolts using the 10mm wrench.
4)Place the cover plate over the flue exit on the top of the stove, using the same four bolts that were removed.
CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
Consider two primary elements when connecting your stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself and the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the chimney. Use only Code approved masonry chimneys with a flue liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a professional to examine the chimney for cracks, loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage. If the chimney needs repair, complete the project before installing and using your stove. Do not install your stove until the chimney is safe for use.
Make sure the chimney’s cleanout is complete and working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, the cleanout must close off completely. If allowed to cool, your stove will perform poorly and creosote will build up in the chimney.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for this stove and that it is not too large. Use a masonry chimney with an 8" x 8" (203 mm x 203 mm) tile size for best results.
An oversized flue will contribute to the accumulation of creosote.
Use the following checklist to ensure that your masonry chimney meets these minimum requirements:
Chimney wall construction:
Brick or modular block at least 4" (102 mm) thick.
A rubble or stone wall at least 12" (305 mm) thick.
Flue liner:
Minimum thickness of 5/8" (16 mm).
Installed with refractory mortar.
At least 1" (25 mm) air space.
An equivalent flue liner must be a listed chimney liner system meeting type HT requirements or other approved material.
Interior chimney requirements:
At least 2" (51 mm) clearance to combustible structure
Fire stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling.
Insulation must be 2" (51 mm) from the chimney.
Exterior chimney requirements:
At least 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustible structure.
