smoke and exhaust gases and it may release toxic
fumes under high heat.

NOTE: Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form
telescoping joints between sections of chimney con-
nector are available to simplify installations. They can
eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections.
Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.

Securing the Connector
to a Prefabricated Chimney
Follow the installation instructions of the chimney
manufacturer exactly as you install the chimney. The
manufacturer of the chimney will supply the accesso-
ries 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
adapters attach directly to the chimney or to the
chimney's ceiling support package, while the bottom of
the adapter is screwed to the chimney connector.

the adapter is screwed to the chimney connector.
These adapters are designed so the top end will fit
outside the inner wall of the chimney, and the bottom
end will fit inside the first section of chimney connector.
Any soot or creosote falling from the inner walls of the
chimney will stay inside the chimney connector.

The Sequoia may be connected to either a freestand-
ing masonry chimney or a masonry fireplace chimney.

Freestanding Installations
If the chimney connector must pass through a combus-

dations 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 securely ce-
mented in place. (Fig. 5) Most chimney breeches
incorporate thimbles, but check to be sure the fit is
snug and the joint between thimble and chimney wall
firmly cemented.
