chimney connector should be exposed and accessible for inspection and cleaning.
Install the single wall chimney connector not less than 18" (457mm) from the ceiling. Keep it as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90° turns. If possible, use 45° elbows. Slope horizontal runs of connectors upward 1/4" per foot (20 mm per meter) going from the stove toward the chimney. The recom- mended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3 feet (1 meter), and the total length of chimney connector should be no longer than 8’ (2.4meters).
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabri- cated chimney downward to within 8’ (2.4m) of the stove.
SAFETY NOTE: ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR WHEN DRILLING, CUTTING OR JOINING CHIMNEY CONNECTOR SECTIONS .
