144.1.1 CHIMNEY CONNECTIONYour chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the appliance’s exhaust fl ue outlet. Theappliance pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24 gauge thickness. It is strictlyforbidden to use galvanized steel.A 6” diameter single wall chimney connector, used to connect the appliance to the chimney, must be installed withthe crimped end toward the appliance. This will ensure that the moisture which condenses from the burning woodwill flow back into the fire chamber. Each joint in the chimney connector must be secured with at least three sheetmetal screws.For installation of your chimney connector, the following recommendations may be useful.• The chimney connector must be short and straight. For optimum performance it is recommended thatall horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot, with the upper end of the section toward thechimney. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, see “INSTALLATION” instructions.• To insure a good draft, the total horizontal length of the connector should never exceed 8’ to 10’. Inthe case of vertical installation, the total length of the connector can be longer and connected withoutproblem to the chimney at the ceiling level.• There should never be more than two 90° elbows in the entire connector and chimney system. Neverstart with a 90° elbow. Always go up vertically for at least 2 feet from the fl ue collar before using a 90°elbow.• The connector must not pass through any combustible material, nor may it pass through a concealedspace (such as an attic, roof space, or closet). If passing through a wall, ceiling, or into a masonrychimney, use either chimney components listed for that specifi c use, or means acceptable to localauthorities having jurisdiction over the installation.This appliance must be connected to:A.
