do not need to be fastened at each joint, other than slip
sections. The decorative pipe need not be fastened to
the locating bracket on the stove. If the layout includes
a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe
visible in the room at the ceiling. Refer to Page 7,
Figure 6, for details on joining the decorative pipe at
the ceiling.
Venting System Assembly
Adjust the leg levelers as needed. They should not
extend any further from the leg than necessary.
The venting collar is on the sheet metal draft hood/heat
exchanger assembly, over the firebox. Use a B-vent
adapter, from the same maker as the rest of the B-vent
components, to join the first section of venting to the
draft hood.
The RNVOD stove includes a vent safety switch.
Operating this stove when not connected to a properly
installed and maintained venting system, or tampering
with or disconnecting the vent safety switch can result
in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible
death.
The stove includes a bracket for installing decorative 6
inch (150mm) round stove pipe around the B-vent, for
appearance purposes only. The decorative pipe need
not be concentric with the vent pipe.
If the installation includes decorative stove pipe around
the venting system, make a cardboard template of the
decorative pipe by tracing its circumference. Put this
template in the flue recess in the stove top. Position
the template to fit well against the front of the recess.
(Fig. 22) Use this template to locate the bracket to hold
the decorative pipe Depending on spacing, the bracket
may fit inside the decorative pipe without interfering
with the vent system. Fasten the bracket to the draft
hood/heat exchanger assembly with a sheet metal
screw.

Insert the B-vent adapter into the flue collar and drill
1/8” (3mm) pilot holes through both the stove’s collar
and the adapter. Attach the adapter to the flue collar
with sheet metal screws. (Fig. 21)
Attach the first section of venting to the B-vent adapter.
Depending on the length of the individual venting
sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe, you
may need to slip the decorative pipe over the venting
sections before attaching upper sections to lower ones.
The sections of decorative pipe should be oriented with
their seams (if any) toward the wall; sections usually
