It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the National Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. (Round flues are the most efficient). The interior diameter of the chimney flue must be identical to the stove's smoke exhaust. A flue which is too small may cause draught problems, while a large flue favours rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney fires. Note that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draught effect; your stove's performance is directly dependent on an adequate draught from your chimney. The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney: 1. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. 2. It must rise above the roof at least 3' (0.9 mm) from the uppermost point of contact. 3. The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10' (3.04 m) distance by a height of 2' (0.6 m). 4. Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior chimney will, by definition, be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up by the ambient air in the house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool more slowly, thus reducing the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney fires. 5. The draught caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney. 6. Using a fire screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to insure that it is not obstructed thus blocking the draught, and it should be cleaned when necessary. CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE) Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draught. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021" or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section of the pipe faces down. Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws. The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the upper end of the section toward the chimney. To insure a good draught, the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8' to 10' (24 to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room). There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbow in the smoke exhaust system. Installation of a "barometric draught stabiliser" (fireplace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore, installation of a draught damper is not recommended. Indeed, with a controlled combustion wood stove, the draught is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the stove and not at the exhaust. Stove Pipe TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS FACTORY B...
