Connection to a Masonry Fireplace
CONNECTION TO A MASONRY FIREPLACE.
There are several kits available to connect the stove to a mason-
ry fireplace. Look for a listed kit. The kit is an adapter which is
installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing
damper may have to be removed to allow installation of the kit.
The key points of this type of stove connection are that the con-
nector pipe must extend up the chimney above where the fire
clay liner starts, and the areas of the kit installation and penetra-
tion should fit tightly and be sealed with high temperature fur-
nace cement unless the kit’s instructions state otherwise.
See Figure12. The tight fitting installation aids the proper draw
of the chimney.
6. CONNECTION TO A METAL
PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY.
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the
manufacturer’s installation instructions must be
followed precisely. You must also purchase
(from the same manufacturer) and install the
ceiling support package or wall pass through and
“T” section package, firestops (when needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.
Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as
recommended by the manufacturer. This clear-
ance is usually a minimum of 2 inches, although
it may vary by manufacturer or for certain com-
ponents.
There are basically two methods of metal chim-
ney installation. One method is to install the
chimney inside the residence through the ceiling
and the roof. See Figures 13 and 14.
The other method is to install an exterior chim-
ney that runs up the outside of the residence.
See Figures 15 and 16. The components illus-
trated may not look exactly like the system you
purchase, but they demonstrate the basic com-
ponents you will need for a proper and safe
installation.
The chimney must be the required height above
the roof or other obstruction for safety and for
proper draft operation. The requirement is that
the chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than
the highest point where it passes through the
roof and at least 2 feet higher than the highest
part of the roof or structure that is within 10 feet
of the chimney, measured horizontally.
Install an attic insulation shield to maintain the
specified clearance to insulation. Insulation in
this air space will cause a heat buildup which
may ignite the ceiling joists.
This method of installation requires, at minimum,
a ceiling support package, an insulation shield
and roof flashing.

LISTED FACTORY-BUILT CHIM-
NEY.
Your Dovre unit requires a 6” diameter pipe.
Follow the installation instructions provided by the
chimney manufacturer and maintain the specified
clearances to combustibles.
When using a factory-built chimney, make sure it
is safety listed, Type HT or conforming to
CAN/ULC-S692M, STANDARD FOR 650°C FAC-
TORY-BUILT CHIMNEYS.
