This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the
pipe or the stove top. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet
metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no
more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36” and a recommended total length of
stovepipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼” per foot toward the
chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other con-
cealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible
for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation must conform with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in this manual.

This room heater must be connected to a 6” factory built UL 103 HT chimney (ULC S629, in Cana-

any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3’ (90 cm) higher than the highest
point where it passes through the roof and at least 2’ (60 cm) higher than the highest part of the roof
or structure that is within 10’ (305 cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally.
