CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
Figure 10 – Stovepipe/Flue Connections
CORRECT WRONG WRONG
Connector pipe is used to make the connection
from the final positioning of your stove to an approved
chimney. Connector pipe is
NOT included as part of
the stove. Connector pipe must be 6˝/152mm diameter
minimum of 24 MSG (minimum standard gauge) black
or 26 MSG blue steel stove pipe. Any connector pipe
used must be in good condition. Replace if necessary
before using stove. Connector pipe is not rated to pro-
vide close contact to combustible materials and must
have proper clearance from combustible materials
as shown in the clearance diagrams on the previous
pages. Connector pipe should never be used in place
of a chimney. If proper clearances are not observed a
house fire could result.
Installation Instructions
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the
stove flue collar. Secure with three (3) sheet metal
screws. The first section of connector pipe must be
single walled to properly attach to the stove collar.
Install additional pipe and elbow with the crimped
end towards the stove. This will allow any conden-
sation in the flue to run back into the firebox.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4˝(6.4mm) per foot
of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18˝/457mm of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 10).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three sheet metal
screws at each joint to make the piping rigid. Secure
pipe/elbow sections with a minimum of three (3)
equally spaced sheet metal screws at each joint
and at the stove collar to make the pipe rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (non adjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, trusses, closet, or any con-
cealed space, floor, ceiling, wall, or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems
& Clearances, page 12.) A UL 103 HT (US)/ ULC-
S629 (CDN) Listed Chimney System must be used
from the first penetration of ceiling or wall to the
chimney cap.
Where passage through a wall or partition of com-
bustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365
(Canada).
WARNING: DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL CON-
NECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE
COULD RESULT.
NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED.
