SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM)

2.1 DEFINITIONS

For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions:

A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimney, which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house.

A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry construction with an inside liner), or a factory built chimney.

A factory built chimney can be a double wall chimney (two concentric pipes with insulation - sometimes referred to as an insulated solid pack) or an air cooled chimney (three concentric pipes, with insulation between the first and second pipes, and air between the second and third pipes).

A single wall connector is a single pipe.

A double wall connector has two concentric pipes, no insulation, and is an air cooled connector.

2.2 CHIMNEY

CAUTIONS:

DO NOT FILL ANY FRAMED SPACE AROUND THE FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEY WITH INSULATION OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL. INSULATION PLACED IN THIS AREA COULD CAUSE ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES TO OVERHEAT.

DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION AS THEY MAY BE SAFETY HAZARDS, AND A FIRE COULD RESULT.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

DO NOT CUT RAFTERS OR CEILING JOISTS WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING A BUILDING OFFICIAL TO ENSURE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS NOT COMPROMISED.

Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL103 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. It must therefore be a 6” (152mm) HT Type (2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. The manufacturers’ installation instructions and specified clearances should always be followed in accordance with local and national installation codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. In the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.
