VENTING COMPONENTS AND CONFIGURATION

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE

∙Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel stovepipe.

∙Double wall connector (close clearance pipe) which must be used with a listed factory -built “Type HT" chimney also may be used with a masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is available from several manufacturers, your dealer can help you choose. Some air insulated connector pipe models available are Simpson Dura Vent DVL and Metalbestos DS. Security, GSW and Ameritec also have acceptable close clearance connector pipe.

∙When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester is required. (See page 15)

∙Chimney connector shall not pass through floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA - B365.

∙It is very important to follow minimum clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and ceilings when installing the stove near non- combustible surfaces. Typical chimney connector clearances are outlined below. The single wall clearances are generic; the Double wall clearances are for Simpson Dura Vent DVL, CHECK THE

SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR CONNECTOR.

Components of a Venting Sys tem

The complete venting system consists of several components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall pass- through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely necessary that you install all of these components within the clearances to combustibles discussed earlier to install your stove safely.

To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you must properly install and constantly maintain the venting system. Upon inspection, immediately replace rusted, cracked, or broken components.

∙The chimney connector is the stovepipe from the woodstove to the chimney. The chimney connector stovepipe must be 6" (152 mm) diameter, 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do not use

aluminum or galvanized steel pipe - they cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire.

∙A thimble is a manufactured (or site-constructed) device installed in combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes to the chimney. It keeps the walls from igniting. You must use a wall thimble when installing a chimney connector through a combustible wall to the chimney.

∙A wall pass-through(or chimney support package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You must use one when connecting through a wall or ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.

∙Only install this stove to a lined masonry chimney or an approved high temperature prefabricated residential type building heating appliance chimney. Do not connect this stove to a chimney serving another appliance; you will compromise the safe operation of both the wood stove and the connected appliance.

¦WARNING:

DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

∙A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory built fireplace or masonry) chimney.

You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those recommended in this manual. Do not use stovepipe as a chimney. Use stovepipe for freestanding installations only to connect the stove to a proper chimney.

Installing a Venting System

Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run into the stove and not the outside of the stovepipe and onto the stove.

Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to the stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws. Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws into the holes pre -drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off the screws can cause joints to separate from the vibration that results from a creosote chimney fire.

You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using additional accessories such as telescoping pipes, slip - connectors or clean-out tees. These accessories ease the inspection of your chimney, as well as allow you to easily dismantle the stovepipe (without moving the stove) when you periodically inspection the stovepipe connection and chimney.
