Venting

#4 Installing into an existing chimney

This method provides excellent venting for normal operation. This method also provides natural draft in the event of a power failure. If the chimney condition is questionable* you may want to install a liner as in method #7.

In some places in the US and Canada it is required that the vent pipe extend all the way to the

 

top of the chimney.

 

*The chimney should be inspected and cleaned

 

before installing your stove. If you discover that the

 

chimney does not have a clay tile liner or has cracks

 

or flaking of the tile liner you will need to install a

 

stainless steel liner within the chimney. In most cases

 

the inside diameter of this liner should be 4". Either

 

flexible or rigid liner may be used for this purpose.

 

Refer to Method 6 & 7.

 

Be sure to design the venting so that it can be easily

 

cleaned.

or flaking of the tile liner you will need to install a

 

stainless steel liner within the chimney, as shown

 

in Method 6 & 7.

 

The chimney must be sealed at the damper us-

 

ing a steel plate. Kaowool, mineral wool or other non-

 

combustible insulation is recommended above the

 

plate to reduce the possibility of condensation. The

 

connector pipe should extend through the smoke

 

chamber to the base or into the first flue tile.

 

Be sure to design the venting so that it can be

 

easily cleaned.
