Stove Installation (for qualified installers only)

Chimney Connector Requirements

•Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see Figure 7) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).

•The chimney connector must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, 26 gauge blued steel, or one of the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.

NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials can not withstand the flue temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.

NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not).

•The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.

•The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180o of elbows (two 90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and chimney).. Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” per foot and be a maximum 36” long.

•The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 7). This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.

•The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

•In cases where the chimney connector must be passed through a combustible wall or partition, the following NFPA 211 method may be used if local building codes permit. Check with local authorities before installation to insure all necessary requirements have been met. Figure 6 details a wall pass- through based on the NFPA 211 standard.

They come in a range of styles and forms, including freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts, and gas-burning units, making it easy for homeowners to find the perfect fit for their needs.

One of the standout features of Lopi stoves is their stellar efficiency. Many models boast EPA-certified efficiencies exceeding 80%, which means they utilize wood as a fuel source effectively and significantly reduce waste output.

Their advanced combustion technology ensures that the wood burns slowly and evenly, producing a clean burn that minimizes emissions.

Lopi stoves are engineered with cutting-edge features that elevate user experience. The patented Trinity Technology is a hallmark of their design, allowing for a more complete combustion process. This technology helps maximize heat output and minimizes smoke, ensuring that users enjoy a warm and comfortable environment without compromising air quality.

Durability is another key characteristic of Lopi stoves. Constructed from heavy-duty steel and high-quality materials, they are built to withstand the test of time. Some models feature cast iron doors and heat exchangers, providing both resilience and an elegant aesthetic. Additionally, Lopi offers a variety of finishes and styles, allowing homeowners to customize their stoves to match their unique interior decor.

Lopi also prioritizes safety in their designs. Many stoves come equipped with features such as cool-to-the-touch handles, built-in safety screens, and advanced heat distribution systems, ensuring that they operate safely while maintaining a cozy atmosphere.

Moreover, Lopi stoves are versatile, offering options for both traditional wood-burning and modern gas flame stoves. This flexibility allows consumers to choose their preferred heating method based on their lifestyle and availability of resources.

In conclusion, Lopi Stoves represent a harmonious blend of efficiency, durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal.
