Exception TL200 Wood Stove Venting Chimney Connectors and Chimneys Draft Draft is widely misunderstood. It is important that you, the stove operator, realize that draft is a variable effect, not a given quantity. Stoves and chimneys do not have draft, yet draft is the key to your stove’s performance. Draft is a force, produced by an operating stove and the chimney to which it is attached.
Exception TL200 Wood Stove Venting The Chimney The Exception must be installed into a chimney approved for use with solid-fuel appliances. In the U.S., the Exception must be connected to (1) a prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appliances, UL 103, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Exception TL200 Wood Stove Venting Existing Masonry Chimneys If you plan on using a pre-existing masonry chimney, have it thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Any faults which make the chimney unsafe and unusable must be repaired prior to use. These can include improper height, structural defects, blockages, inadequate clearance to combustibles, unsealed openings into other rooms of the house, signs of creosote or smoke leakage, a loose or absent clean-out door, or absence of a liner.
