Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney.

and rain cap per the chimney manufacturer's instructions.
3. Now connect the stove and ceiling support box using #24 ga. minimum blued or
black steel connector pipe (DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE). Connect each
section so the crimped end faces downward, and secure each section to each other
using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets. Also use three (3) sheet metal
screws to fasten pipe to collar on heater (See Figure 8) or you may use 3 “Ell” brackets
fastened to the top of the heater and fastened to the stove pipe.
