LOCATING STOVE
1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe fits
into the stove flue collar.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceil-
ing.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 7).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90
degree bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90 degree bends
may decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These pro-
vide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Sys-
tems & Clearances, page 19). A UL 103 HT
Listed chimney must be used from the first
penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney
cap. Never use single wall connector pipe as
a chimney - a house fire could result.

Installation
CAUTION: REPLACE FIREBRICKS BEFORE
FIRING WOODSTOVE. POSITION FIREBRICKS
SO NO GAPS REMAIN BETWEEN BRICKS.
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick protects the stove body, extends the
life of your stove and radiates heat more evenly.
Check to see that all firebricks are in their correct
positions and have not become misaligned dur-
ing shipping or assembly. If removed for ease of
locating stove, firebrick must be replaced before
firing. There are four different full-sized bricks
(A, K, F, D) and three (E, G, H) with notches.
See diagram, fig. 6, for proper positioning.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE STOVE WITH
MISSING OR CRACKED FIRE BRICKS!
