This must be at least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections must be attached to the appliance and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove. All joints, including the connection at the flue collar, should be secured with 3 sheet metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles. Where passage through the wall, or partition of combustible con- struction is desired in Canada, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented).

A listed connector (vented) must be used when installing this unit in a mobile home. The listed connectors must conform to each other to ensure a proper fit and seal.

Figure 18.1

Chimney Height / Rise and Run

This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch (152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (420-480cm) high, (includes stove height) measured from the base of the appliance. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance problems exists.

Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea level or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.
