FLUE SYSTEMS
There are two separate and different parts to a flue system: the chimney connector and the chimney itself.
1.Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be at least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove. See Figure 10A. All joints, including the connection at the stove collar, should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles as set out on pages 6 and 7 of this manual. Where passage through the wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA- B365.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
For optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6 inch stainless steel liner. Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce efficiency, cause the glass to darken, and produce excessive creosote.
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard
211.It must have at least a 5/8 inch (16mm) fire clay liner or a listed chimney liner system. See Figure 10B. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deteriora- tion and blockage. It is best to have the chimney inspected by a professional and be sure to have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.
The flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. NFPA 211 allows the
