Guidelines for Installing the Chimney Connector

The chimney connector is a single-wall pipe or a listed and approved double-wall pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. Approved clearances change according to what type of chimney connector you use. Consult the clearances section of this manual for the proper clearances. The stove’s flue collar accepts only 6” chimney connector.

Follow the chimney manufacturer’s direction for installation.

We recommend that prior to installing your stove into a masonry chimney, you have the chimney inspected by a qualified mason. Note: Canadian installations into a masonry chimney MUST be fully relined with a listed solid fuel chimney liner.

Horizontal Connection

The Heartland Artisan has the ability to connect stove pipe out the top of the flue box vertically or out the back of the flue box horizontally.

To run horizontally out the back of the flue box, remove plate from rear of the flue box by loosening 5/16” nut on the inside of the flue box hold down. Ensure rope gasket insulation is intact on plate perimeter. Remove flue collar from top of flue box by removing one screw and small bracket. Set screw and bracket aside and loosen only screw on opposite side. Flue collar can now be removed. Interchange position of the removed flue collar and the flue plate. Ensure the two tabs on the flue collar are securely tightened inside flue box. Ensure rope gasket is tight on plate for proper seal. Tighten 5/16” nut on plate hold down. Make sure all connections are tightly sealed.

All horizontal stove pipe must slope slightly upwards a minium of 1/4” per foot (6mm per 0.3m). This slope is to allow water vapour to drain back into the stove. All connections must be tight and secured by a minimum of three equally spaced sheet metal screws. Under no condition should the chimney connector have more than one 90 degree bend or two 45 degree bends.

Connection Requirements

1.The chimney connector should be made of 24 gauge or thicker sheet metal and should be 6” in diameter.

2.The last section of the chimney connector starting from the stove should be screwed to the flue collar of the stove with at least 3 self-tapping screws. Individual sections of the chimney connector must be screwed together with at least three sheet metal screws. The last section should be securely attached to the chimney. Be sure there are no “weak links” in the system.

3.The crimped ends of pipe sections should point downward toward the stove so that any soot or creosote that falls from the inside of the pipe will be funnelled into a clean out or fall into the stove.

4.A horizontal run of chimney connector should be no longer than 10 inches. A vertical run of stovepipe to a prefabricated metal chimney should be no longer than 8 ft.

5.Do not pass the stovepipe chimney connector through a combustible wall if it can be avoided. If this cannot be avoided, follow the recommendation in CSA B365 in Canada and NFPA 211 in the U.S., recommendations on Wall Pass-Throughs.

6.Do not use single wall chimney connector as an outside chimney.

7.Never pass a chimney connector through a combustible ceiling.

8.The whole chimney connector should be exposed and accessible for inspection and cleaning.

9.Galvanized stovepipe should not be used. When exposed to the temperatures reached by smoke and exhaust gases, galvanized pipe may release toxic fumes.

10.Horizontal runs of chimney connector should slope upward 1/4” per foot going from the stove toward the chimney.

11.During a chimney fire, the chimney connector may vibrate violently. The connector must be securely attached to the pipe and chimney, and individual sections must be securely attached together.

12.This stove is not to be connected to an air distribution duct.
