Resolute Acclaim Woodburning Stove
Single-wall Chimney Connectors
•Beginning at the flue collar of the stove, assemble the chimney connector. Insert the first crimped end into the stove’s flue collar, and keep each crimped end pointing toward the stove. Using
the holes in the flue collar as guides, drill 1/8” (3mm) holes in the bottom of the first section of chimney
connector and secure it to the flue collar with three
(3)#10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws.
•Secure each joint between sections of chim- ney connector, includ-
ing telescoping joints, |

of each section of chimney connector serve as guides when you drill 1/8” (3mm) holes in the bottom of the next section.
•Secure the chimney connector to the chimney. In- structions for various installations follow.
•Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are correct distances from nearby combustible material. NOTE: Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form telescoping joints between sections of chimney con- nector are available to simplify installations. They often eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections. Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.
Securing the Single-wall Connector
to a Prefabricated Chimney
Follow the installation instructions of the chimney manufacturer exactly as you install the chimney. The manufacturer of the chimney will supply the acces- sories to support the chimney, either from the roof of the house, at the ceiling of the room where the stove is installed, or from an exterior wall.
Special adapters are available from your local dealer to make the connection between the prefabricated chimney and the chimney connector. The top of such adapters attach directly to the chimney or to the chim- ney’s ceiling support package, while the bottom of the adapter is screwed to the chimney connector.
These adapters are designed so the top end will fit outside the inner wall of the chimney, and the bottom end will fit inside the first section of chimney connector. When assembled in this way, any soot or creosote fall- ing from the inner walls of the chimney will stay inside the chimney connector.
Securing the
to a Masonry Chimney
Both freestanding masonry chimneys and fireplace masonry chimneys may be used for installation of your Resolute Acclaim.
