Reduced Clearances
Clearances to combustible surfaces can be reduced with the use of listed
double wall connector pipe. See the clearances with double wall pipe on
the following page.
Alcove Clearances
Single Wall Pipe - Minimum 48" (1219 mm) width, maximum 48" (1219
mm) depth. Minimum ceiling height is 84” (2134 m).
Double Wall Pipe - Minimum 44" (1117 mm) width, maximum 48" (1219
mm) depth. Minimum ceiling height is 72” (1829 mm).
Chimney and Connector
Minimum 6” diameter, minimum 24 MSG black steel connector pipe with
UL103HT listed factory-built chimney suitable for use with solid fuels
or masonry chimney. Horizontal connection not tested, refer to local
building codes for installation. See installation instructions for details.
Restrictions apply! Read instructions before installing.
Clearance dimensions are to 6” (152 mm) flue collar. If a single wall
connector pipe with shield is used, a 1 inch air space is needed between
pipe and shield. Shield attaches to rear of stove pipe and must run from
stove top to ceiling. Pipe shield shall be UL listed.
Residential chimney systems must be from the same brands as listed
for mobile homes but connector pipe may be double wall, single wall or
single wall with shield as listed above.
This appliance may be vented into a code-approved masonry chimney
with flue liner.
Warning: Chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.
Do not install damaged parts.
All of the stove connector pipe used must be of the same brand. The
chimney that the stove pipe transitions into may be a different brand.
Other than the transition of the stove pipe into the chimney, do Not mix
different brand vent components. Install all vent components per vent
manufacturer’s instructions.
The chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space,
closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling. Where passage
through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-
Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
There must be an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney
or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure. Follow the
vent manufacturer's detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: See Draft Requirements and Selecting a Proper
Venting System on Page 4 to assist you in choosing the proper venting
system for your installation.
Components Required For Installation
Legs AND Bottom Heat Shield or Pedestal Base.
Use all required components specified for this appliance. Do
not substitute.
WARNING: In the event that you remove the blower for any
reason, make sure a cover plate (available from Lennox Hearth
Products) is installed before using the heater. Excessive rear
wall temperatures will result if the stove is burned without the
cover plate. Note: The cover plate is not necessary if a blower
has never been installed because a knock-out will be in place
to act as the cover.
* Other approved chimney brands are Projet, Jakes Evans/GSW, Dura-
vent, Metal Fab, Ameri-Tec, Metalbestos and Industrial Chimney (ICC).
