Chimney Connector Requirements
 Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see
Figure 6) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).
 The chimney connector must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel or one of the
reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials cannot withstand the flue
temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.
NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (mobile homes may not).
 The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE
CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.
 The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180 o
of elbows (two
90 o elbows, or two 45 o & one 90 o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and
chimney). Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” (6mm) per foot (305mm) and be a maximum
36” long (914mm).
 The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 5).
This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.

 The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).
On singlewall pipe
the crimped end
points downward.
