INSTALLATION
Horizontal Installation
Standard Ceiling Installation
8. To complete your chimney installation, install
the double wall connector pipe from the stove’s
fl ue collar to the chimney support device.
9. If you are using a horizontal connector, the
chimney connector should be as high as pos-
sible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm)
minimum distance from the horizontal con-
nector to the ceiling.
10. NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and
Alcove installations require a listed double
wall connector from the stove collar to the
ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to install
your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizontal
connector. Check with your dealer or installer for
information on other options available to you.
STEP-BY-STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney
installation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly. Verify the Minimum Recom-
mended Heights for Woodstove Flue
(Table 1 in the Installation section).
1. With your location already established, cut
and frame the roof hole. It is recommended
that no ceiling support member be cut for
chimney and support box installation. If it is
necessary to cut them, the members must be
made structurally sound.
2. Install radiant shield and support from above.
3. Stack the insulated pipe onto your fi nish sup-
port to a minimum height of 3 feet above the
roof penetration, or 2 feet above any point
within 10 feet measured horizontally. There
must be at least 3 feet of chimney above the
roof level.
NOTE: Ensure each section of chimney is posi-
tively attached and secured.
Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes
help your unit to “breathe” better by
allowing a greater draft to be cre-
ated. This greater draft can decrease
problems such as, diffi cult start-ups,
back-smoking when door is open, and
dirty glass. It might be suffi cient to
initially try with the minimum required
height, and then if problems do arise
add additional height at a later date.
4. Slide the roof fl ashing over your chimney
and seal the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng
compound. Secure the fl ashing to your roof
with nails or screws.
5. Place the storm collar over the fl ashing, seal-
ing the joints with a silicone caulking.
6. Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if
required) to the top of your chimney.
7. For optimum effi ciency when installing into
a masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e.
the 8" (203.2mm) fl ue dia. is 50.3 sq.in.
(1272.62mm).
