Figure 6
Chimney Height
Amasonry chimney or a factory-built chimney must
be the required height above the roof and any other
nearby obstructions. 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. See
Figure 6.
These are safety requirements and are not meant to
assure proper flue draft.
We recommend using a minimum total system height
of 12 feet/3657 mm when using single wall connec-
tor, not including the chimney cap, measured from
the stove flue collar to the top of the chimney. For a
listed connector pipe, use a minimum total system
height of 9 feet/2743 mm.

Chimney Connector
NOTE: The chimney connector must be
attached to either an approved masonry
chimney or any safety listed factory-built
chimney.
4. FLUE SYSTEMS.
There are two separate and different parts to a flue
system: the chimney connector and the chimney
itself.
Chimney Connector.
The chimney connector connects the stove to the
chimney. The connector must be the same size as
the flue outlet of the stove. There are two types of
chimney connectors.
A. Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be
at least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue
steel. The sections must be attached to the stove
and to each other with the crimped (male) end
pointing toward the stove. See Figure 7. All
joints, including the connection at the stove collar,
should be secured with three sheet metal screws.
Make sure to follow the minimum clearances in
Table 1, page 5.
B. Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented).
The listed connectors must be the same brand at
the listed chimney.
