MASONRY CHIMNEY
FIGURE 12A
F
or optimal performance, masonry chimneys used 
to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6 inch 
stainless steel liner.  Installations into a clay flue without 
a stainless steel liner may reduce draw which affects 
performance, cause the glass to darken and produce 
excessive creosote.
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum 
standards of the National Fire Protection Association 
(NFPA) Standard 211. It must have at least a 5/8" 
(16mm) fire clay liner or a listed chimney liner system. 
See Figure 12A. Make sure there are no cracks, loose 
mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage.  It 
is best to have the chimney inspected by a professional 
and be sure to have the chimney cleaned before the 
stove is installed and operated. 
The flue should be checked to determine that it is not 
too large for the stove.  NFPA 211 allows the cross-
sectional area of the flue to be no more than 3 times 
the cross-sectional area of the flue collar of the stove 
(28 x 3 = 84 square inches).  It is recommended that a 
chimney with a larger diameter than 6 inches (152mm) 
be relined, since the oversized flue can cause poor 
performance and contribute to the accumulation of 
creosote.  (See page 11 for more information about 
troubleshooting draft problems).  
CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
 CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. 
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to 
a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.  There 
are several ways to make this connection, including 
the construction of a masonry thimble.  In Canada, this 
installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365.  Check with 
your local building authorities or consult the National Fire 
Protection Association (NFPA 211).  Refer to Figure 13B 
(page 13) and Figures 14A & 14B (page 14).
WARNING!  IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD 
CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION 
(NFPA) STANDARD 211.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH (152mm) DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE 
UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE.  IT IS NOT 
RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE 
ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.  SEE PAGE 11.
