c) Mild steel fluepipes complying with BS 1449: Part 1: 
1991, with a flue wall thickness of at least 3 mm;
d) Cast iron fluepipes complying with BS 41: 1973 
(1998).
Flue Pipes with a spigot and socket joint should be 
fitted with the socket facing upwards, to contain con-
densates and moisture within the flue. Joints should be 
made gas tight using proprietary jointing accessories, 
or, where appropriate, by packing joint with noncombus-
tible rope and fire cement.
Single-wall connectors should be made of 24 gauge 
or heavier steel. Do not use galvanized connector; it 
cannot withstand the high temperatures that can be 
reached by smoke and exhaust gases, and may release 
toxic fumes under high heat.  The connector may be 
152 mm (6”) or 203 mm (8”) in diameter.
If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through 
a combustible wall or ceiling. If passage through a com-
bustible wall is unavoidable, refer to the section on Wall 
Pass-Throughs. Do not pass the connector through an 
attic, a closet or similar concealed space.  The whole 
connector should be exposed and accessible for in-
spection and cleaning.
In horizontal runs of un shielded chimney connector, 
maintain a distance of 762 mm (30”) from the ceiling. 
Keep it as short and direct as possible, with no more 
than two 90° turns. Slope horizontal runs of connector 
upward 6mm per meter (1/4” per foot) going from the 
stove toward the chimney. The recommended maximum 
length of a horizontal run is 914 mm (36”), and the total 
length should be no longer than 2.4 m (8’). In cathedral 
ceiling installations, extend the prefabricated chimney 
downward to within 2.4 m (8’) of the stove. This will help 
maintain a good draft by keeping the smoke warm, so 
that it rises readily.
Wear gloves and protective eyewear when drilling, cut-
ting or joining sections of chimney connector.
Single-wall Chimney Connectors
• 
Begin assembly at the flue collar of the stove.  Insert 
the first crimped 
end into the stove’s 
flue collar, and 
keep each crimped 
end pointing toward 
the stove. (Fig. 4) 
Using the holes 
in the flue collar 
as guides, drill 3 
mm (1/8”) holes 
in the bottom of 
the first section of 
chimney connector 
and secure it to the 
flue collar with three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. 
Lift off the griddle, and shield the  stove’s surface 
between the griddle opening and the front of the flue 
collar to protect the finish when you drill the front 
hole.
• 
Fasten each joint between sections of chimney 
connector, including telescoping joints, with at least 
three (3) sheet metal screws. The pre-drilled holes in 
the top of each section of chimney connector serve 
as guides when you drill 3 mm (1/8”) holes in the 
bottom of the next section.
• 
Fasten the chimney connector to the chimney.  
Instructions for various installations follow. Figure 6 
illustrates the general layout of chimney connector 
parts.
• 
Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector 
are correct distances from nearby combustible mate-
rials.
NOTE: Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form 
telescoping joints between sections of chimney con-
nector are available to simplify installations. They often 
eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections. 
Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.
Securing the Single-wall Connector to a
Prefabricated Chimney
Follow the installation instructions of the chimney manu-
facturer exactly as you install the chimney. The manu-
facturer of the chimney will supply the accessories to 
support the chimney, either from the roof of the house, 
at the ceiling of the room where the stove is installed, or 
from an exterior wall.
Special adapters are available from your local dealer to 
make the connection between the prefabricated chim-
ney and the chimney connector. The top of such adapt-
ers attaches directly to the chimney or to the chimney’s 
ceiling support package, while the bottom of the adapter 
is screwed to the chimney connector.
These adapters are designed so the top end will fit out-
side the inner wall of the chimney, and the bottom end 
will fit inside the first section of chimney connector.
Securing the Single-wall Connector to a 
Masonry Chimney
Both freestanding masonry  chimneys and fireplace 
masonry chimneys may be used for your installation. 
Freestanding Installations 
If the chimney connector must pass through a com-
bustible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recom-
mendations in the Wall Pass-Through section that 
follows.  The opening through the chimney wall to the 
flue (the “breech”) must be lined with either a ceramic or 
metal cylinder, called the “thimble”, which is cemented
