Couplings:
Once the wood stove is in place and the minimum clearances are respected, it must be coupled to the chimney with a connector (commonly called “stove pipe”). Verify the clearance between your stove pipe and the surrounding combustible material. If the standard minimum 18 inch (457 mm) clearance cannot be obtained, you may use an insulated stove pipe or a thermal protection shield. Read and respect the pipe manufacturer's instructions before installation.
Your smoke evacuation system (should be assembled in such a way that the male sections of the pipes face down. Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws. The pipes must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the lower section toward the stove.
Installation of a "barometric draft stabilizer" (fireplace register) on your smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore, installation of a draft damper is recommended.
