Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be one tested and 
listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances.  
A horizontal connector run should be inclined 1/4” per 
foot (20 mm per meter)  from the stove toward the 
chimney.  The recommended maximum length of a hori-
zontal run is 3 feet (1m) and the total length of chimney 
connector should be no longer than 8 feet (2.5m).
Chimney Height
For proper draft and good performance, the chimney 
should extend at least 16’ (5 m) above the flue collar of 
the stove.
The chimney must also extend at least 3’ (914 mm) 
above the highest point where it passes through a roof, 
and at least 2’ (610 mm) higher than any portion of a 
building within 10’ (3 m). (Fig. 2)

Chimney Size
The Model 2478 heater should be vented into a ma-
sonry chimney with a square flue with nominal flue size 
of 8” x 8” (203 x 203 mm), or a round flue with nominal 
flue size of 6” (152 mm). 
Chimney liners larger than 8” x 12” (203 x 305 mm) 
may promote rapid cooling of smoke and reduction in 
draft, especially if they are located outside the home.  
These large chimneys may need to be insulated or 
have their flues relined for proper stove performance.  
Accessories to help make the connection between 
stainless steel chimney liners and the stove are avail-
able through your local dealer.

Guidelines for Installing 
the Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is the single-wall pipe, or listed 
and approved double-wall pipe that connects the stove 
to the chimney.  The chimney itself is a masonry or 
prefabricated structure that encloses the flue.  Chimney 
connectors are used only to make the connection from 
the stove to the chimney.
Do not pass the chimney connector through a combus-
tible wall, floor, or ceiling, through an attic or roof space, 
or through a closet or similar concealed space.  If pas-
sage through a combustible wall is unavoidable, follow 
the recommendations in the following section on Wall 
Pass-Throughs.  Keep the passage as short and direct 
as possible, with no more than two 90 degree turns.  
Two Types of Connector
You may use either a single-wall steel connector of the 
size and gauge described below, or a listed and ap-
proved double-wall connector.
Single-Wall Connector
The single-wall chimney connector should be made of 
24 gauge or heavier steel, and must have a minimum 
internal diameter of  6” (150 mm) for model 2478.
Install single-wall chimney connector not less than 18” 
(450 mm) from the ceiling.
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabri-
cated chimney downward to within 8 feet (2.5 meters) 
of the stove.  The entire chimney connector should be 
exposed and accessible for inspection and cleaning.
Do not use galvanized chimney connector; it cannot 
withstand the high temperatures that can be reached 
by smoke and exhaust gases and it may release toxic 
fumes under high heat.
