1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside

the stove flue collar. Install additional pipe and
elbow with the crimped end towards the stove.
This will allow any condensation in the flue to
run back into the firebox.

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 ceiling.

4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue

(figure 4).

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

° bends be used in the stovepipe installation.

The use of more than two 90

°  bends may

decrease the amount of draw and possibly cause

smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These
provide 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 17). 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.
