DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE USED BY ANOTHER APPLIANCE
Single wall connector that is at least 24 MSG or
25 MSG blued steel stovepipe.
Double wall connector (Rear pipe) which is used
with a listed, factory-built "Type HT" chimney or
with a masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is
available from several manufacturers, your dealer
can help you choose. Some air insulated
connector pipe models available are ICC, Security,
Dura Vent DVL.
The chimney connector cannot pass through a
floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet
or similar concealed space. Where venting
requires passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction, the installation must
conform to NFPA Code 211 or CAN/CSA -
B365.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions
to maintain an effective vapor barrier at the
location where the chimney of other component
penetrates the exterior of the structure
It is very important to follow minimum clearances
for chimney connectors to combustibles such as
walls and ceilings when installing the stove.
Typical chimney connector clearances are
outlined below.

The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall
pass-through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely
necessary that you install all of these components
and maintain the clearances to combustibles
discussed earlier to ensure a safe stove installation.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you
must properly install and constantly maintain the
&

venting system
in good condition. Be sure to inspect
the chimney and chimney connector and keep it
clean
. Upon inspection, immediately replace rusted,
cracked, or broken components. Failure to follow
these instructions and specified components or
using make-shift compromises can result in fire,
property damage, bodily injury, and even death.
The chimney connector is the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney
connector stovepipe is 6" (152 mm) diameter, 24
MSG or 25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do
not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe - they
cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a
wood fire.
The thimble is a manufactured (or site-
constructed) device installed in combustible
walls through which the chimney connector
passes to the chimney. It keeps the walls from
igniting. You must use a wall thimble when
installing a chimney connector through a
combustible wall to the chimney.
A wall pass-through (or chimney support
package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use one when connecting through a wall or
ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.
Only install this stove to a lined masonry
chimney or an approved high temperature
prefabricated residential type building heating
appliance chimney. Do not connect this stove to
a chimney serving another appliance; you will
compromise the safe operation of both the wood
stove and the connected appliance.
A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory
built fireplace or masonry) chimney.
You must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those recommended in this manual.
Do not use stovepipe as a chimney. Use stovepipe
for freestanding installations only to connect the
stove to a proper chimney.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM

NSTALLING A
ENTING
Attach stovepipe sections to the flue collar and to
each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If
creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run
into the stove and not on the outside of the
stovepipe or onto the stove.
