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. |

| 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. |
