e Venting System
General
e venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the chimney, acts as the engine that
drives your wood heating system. Even the best stove will not function safely and eciently as intended if it is not connected to a
suitable chimney.
e heat in the ue gases that pass from the stove and chimney connector into the chimney is not waste heat. is heat is what
the chimney uses to make the draft that draws in combustion air, keeps smoke inside the stove and safely vents exhaust to outside.
You can think of heat in the ue gas as the fuel the chimney uses to make draft.
Suitable Chimneys
Your wood stove will provide optimum eciency and performance when connected to a 6-inch diameter chimney ue system.
e connection to a chimney having a diameter of at least 5 inches (Canada only) or no more than 7 inches is permitted, if it al-
lows the proper venting of combustion gases and that such application is veried and authorized by a qualied installer. Other-
wise, the ue diameter will have to be the one specic to the heater.
To be suitable, a factory-built metal chimney must comply with
UL 103 (U.S.A.) or ULC S629 (Canada).
Factory-built Metal Chimneys
ese are sometimes referred to as ‘high temp’ chimneys because
they have the special characteristics to withstand the temperatures
that can be created by wood burning stoves. Factory-built chim-
neys are tested as a system with all the necessary components for
installation. e instructions provided with the chimney by its
manufacturer are the only reliable source of installation guide-
lines. To be safe and eective, the chimney must be installed ex-
actly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only
components intended for the brand and model of chimney you
are using. Never substitute parts from other chimney brands or
fabricate your own components. e chimney must be a type suit-
able for solid fuel.
