Chimney Connector Requirements
• The chimney connector must be 150mm diameter and stainless steel.
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials cannot withstand the flue
temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.
• Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see
Figure 4) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).
• 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 6mm per foot (305mm) and have a maximum length
of 914mm.
• The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 3).
This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.
Figure 3
• The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).
On singlewall pipe
the crimped end
points downward.
