least 8˝/203mm of liner must remain below the entry
position. When locating the stove and stovepipe, all
minimum clearances must be observed from com-
bustible surfaces including mantels, combustible
trim work, ceilings and walls. Positioning the center
of the stove pipe entry into the chimney 24˝/61cm
below the ceiling should insure proper clearance
for a 6˝/152mm stovepipe.
2. Install a metal or fire clay (5/8˝/16mm minimum
thickness) thimble. Make sure the thimble is flush
with the inner surface of the chimney liner and does
not protrude into the flue (see figures 14 & 15 on
pages 10 & 11).
3. Secure the thimble with refractory mortar. The
thimble should be surrounded by 12˝/305mm of
solid unit masonry brickwork or 24˝/61cm of stone.
4. Install the stovepipe into the thimble as far as pos-
sible without extending past the flue lining (see
figures 14 & 15 on pages 10 & 11).
5. A small airspace (about 1/2˝/13mm) should remain
between the stovepipe and thimble to allow for
expansion of the pipe. Seal this airspace with high-
temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed posi-
tion using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool, or
furnace cement. Also check to see if the chimney
has a cleanout. If it does, make sure it is closed and
sealed as well. A leaky cleanout will greatly reduce
draft efficiency.
If you have any questions regarding venting your
stove, contact the manufacturer or contact the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and request a copy
of the latest editions of NFPA Standard 211 and NFPA
Standard 908. Their address is:
