CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of
0.021" or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section of the pipe
faces down. Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal
screws. The system should be attach to the unit using screws.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least
1/4 inch per foot, with the upper end of the section toward the chimney.
To insure a good draught, the diameter of the coupling pipe should be 6” and total length
should never exceed 8' to 10' (24 to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of vertical installation,
cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer and connected
without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbow in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a "barometric draught stabiliser" (fireplace register) on a smoke exhaust
system is prohibited.
