WARNING
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors, which when combined with
expelled moisture form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue
of a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot re. ...A creosote
deposit just 1/8’’ (3 mm) thick is enough to cause
a chimney re.
COAL:
Some coals contain large quantities of sulfur (up to
7%). When coal is burned, sulfur and coal ashes
are deposited in the chimney ue. This deposit
combines with moisture to form a highly corro-
sive acid (sulphuric acid). In order to protect your
chimney, we recommend that you:
1. Burn only low sulfur coals (less than 1% sul-
fur).
2. Have your chimney cleaned within 48 hours
of shutting down your stove at the end of the
heating season. Be certain that all the soot is
removed. Wipe the chimney ue using a strong
solution of baking soda and water. This can
be done by wrapping a rag around a chimney
cleaning brush, dipping it into the baking
soda-water solution then passing it through the
chimney three of four times.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Clearance
The clearances stated in this guide are minimum re-
quirements: if more space is available, use it. Min-
imum clearances mean leaving unobstructed air
space. Do not ll these spaces with any material
whatsoever, especially not insulating material.
Inspection
Contact local building or re ocials about restric-
tions, installation inspections and permits that may
be required in your area.
Replacement Parts
If a component of your chimney system is damaged
it must be replaced by an identical one from Du-
raVent.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
WOOD AND COAL STOVES
We recommend:
1. Choose a stove that bears the label of a test-
ing laboratory (such as ULC, CSA, WH, UL, or
ICBO).
2. Choose the right size stove. Do not buy one
larger than you need.
3. Connect only one appliance to a chimney.
4. Never overre your stove. If any part of the
stove or stove pipe is glowing red, then you are
overring. Immediately close the stove’s damp-
ers until the system cools. The high temperature
caused by overring can permanently damage
the stove and stove pipe and may overheat
nearby combustible walls and furniture.
5. Install the stove and stove pipe as described in
the installation instructions accompanying the
stove. Be certain to maintain the required clear-
ances to combustible construction.
6. Keep your ue gases between 150°C and
260°C. This will maximize eciency while min-
imizing condensation and creosote formation.
Do not ll your stove with wood and allow it to
smolder for 8 to 10 hours. This condition pro-
duces large amounts of creosote in the chimney.
7. Do not burn sea driftwood or treated wood.
These combustibles are highly corrosive to all
types of stainless steel.

CHIMNEY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
KEEP YOUR CHIMNEY CLEAN SIZING CHART
Wood stoves can quickly create large deposits of
creosote in the chimney. Some wood stoves can
create enough creosote in two weeks to cause a
chimney re. When using a wood stove, we recom-
mend that you:
1. Initially, inspect the chimney system weekly. You
will learn how often it will be necessary to clean
your chimney.
2. The chimney should be inspected at least once
every 2 months during the heating season to de-
termine if a creosote or soot build-up has occurred.
If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of chimney re.
3. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualied chimney
sweep. If you want to clean your chimney yourself:
clean your chimney using plastic, wood, or stainless
steel brushes. Do not use a brush that will scratch
the stainless steel interior of your chimney.
4. Do not expect chemical chimney cleaners to keep
your chimney clean. Their use does not negate the
necessity of periodically inspecting and cleaning
your chimney.

CHIMNEY-OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.
Wood stoves can quickly create large deposits of creosote in
the chimney. Some wood stoves can create enough creosote
in two weeks to cause a chimney fire. When using a wood
stove, we recommend that you:
1. Initially inspect the chimney system weekly. From this
you will learn how often it will be necessary to clean your
chimney.
2. The chimney should be inspected at least once every 2
months during the heating season to determine if a
creosote or soot build-up has occurred: if creosote or
soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney fire.
3. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified chimney
sweep. If you want to clean your chimney yourself: clean
your chimney using plastic, wood or stainless steel
brushes. Do not use a brush that will scratch the
stainless steel interior of your chimney.
4. Do not expect chemical chimney cleaners to keep your
chimney clean. Their use does not negate the necessity
of periodically inspecting and cleaning your chimney.
CHIMNEY FIRES
If you are having a chimney fire, follow these steps:
1. Close all heater doors and combustion air controls. For
fireplaces, block the fireplace opening with a non-
combustible material (such as an asbestos or steel
sheet).
2. Alert your family of the possible danger.
3. If you require assistance, alert your fire department.
4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking
soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it
may cause a dangerous steam explosion.
5. Watch for smouldering or fire on combustibles next to the
stove, stove pipe and chimney. Check outside to ensure
that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney
are not igniting the roof.
6. Do not use the stove again until your chimney and stove
pipe have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep
or fire department inspector.
The S-2100 + chimney has been designed to withstand
the intense heat of a chimney fire. Nevertheless
chimney fires are dangerous and should be prevented.
*When installed on a concrete floor.
** NOTE: if greater height is required, use additional roof
supports or adjustable wall supports at intervals not
exceeding 20'.

INSTALLATION NOTES
1. The chimney is intended for use with solid, liquid,
and gaseous fuel burning appliances.
Allowable ue gas temperature:
Maximum continuous 650°C (1200° F)
Brief forced ring 760°C (1400°F)
Tested to 1150°C (2100°F) - 30 minutes
2. The maximum height of chimney supported by the
various DuraVent supports are outlined on page
3.
3. The supports described in this booklet should only
be used with 6” or 7” factory built chimneys.
4. Size the chimney in accordance with the appliance
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. A chimney servicing a replace or an incinerator
shall not serve any other appliance.
6. The chimney shall extend at least 3 ft above its
point of contact with the roof and at least 2 ft higher
than any wall, roof or adjacent building within 10
ft of it.
7. The maximum height of an unguided chimney
above the roof is 5 ft. If the chimney extends more
than 5 ft. above the roof, a Roof Brace (XRSU)
must be used.
8. The clearance between single wall pipe and un-
protected combustible material must not be less
than 18” (see National Building Code) except: The
distance between the vertical stove pipe and the
ceiling may be less than 18” and will be established
by the nish support.
9. Portions of the chimney which may extend through
accessible spaces shall be enclosed in all cases
to avoid personal contact with the chimney and
damage to the chimney. Except for installation in
single and two-story family dwellings, the enclo-
sure must have a re resistance rating equal to or
greater than that of the oor or roof assemblies
through which they pass.
10. Do not ll the 2” space around the chimney with
insulation or any other material. Insulation placed
in this area could cause adjacent combustibles to
overheat.
11. Self tapping screws are not required, but may
be used to reinforce the connection and avoid
accidental unlocking of chimney lengths. Use
only 1/2” self-tapping screws. Do not penetrate

the inner wall of the chimney.
12. If needed, when penetrating the building
envelope the gap between the outer layer of
chimney and any restop or wall thimble can
be sealed using high temperature rated (600°F)
silicone caulking.
13. The safe operation of a factory-built chimney
assembly is based on the use of parts supplied by
the manufacturer. The performance of the assembly
may be aected if the combination of these parts
is not used in actual building construction.
14. All interior portions of the chimney must be ac-
cessible for inspection and cleaning.
