SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM
A. Existing Flue System
This unit is designed to connect to an existing flue system, such as masonry or a pre-
manufactured Class A pipe system. If you have a masonry chimney the inside should be
checked for cracks in the liner; if there is no liner in the chimney we recommend
installing a stainless steel liner. If you already have a steel liner it should be carefully
checked for buckling, warping or cracks. With either type system it is absolutely
necessary to clean it before installation of this stove. A qualified chimney sweep can
clean and inspect your system, and in many cases find problems the homeowner might
overlook. The sweep can normally do chimney repairs or recommend a qualified person
to do so. Warning: Do not connect this stove to a flue system serving another
heating appliance.
B. Required Flue Size
The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar on the unit.
This stove is equipped with a six inch (6”) top or rear vent flue collar. This stove would
require six inch (6”) pipe, and a smaller diameter pipe should never be used. The area of
the chimney liner should also be greater than the area of the flue collar on the stove, but
never more than three times greater.
Example: The area of a six inch (6”) flue collar is 28.87 square inches; therefore, the
area of the flue liner should never be more than 84.8 square inches.
C. Top or Rear Exhaust
This unit comes with an adaptable top or rear exhaust. The stove is shipped in the
container ready for the top mounted flue collar (Part #CA-20). To change to the rear vent
you will first remove the rear cover plate (Part #CA-22) and attach it to the top of the
stove. Next, mount the flue collar to the rear opening of the stove. NOTE: When
mounting the flue collar or the cover plate, it is very important that all the bolts are in tight
and the gasket makes an airtight seal.
Caution: Connector pipe should be 24-gauge or thicker steel pipe and eighteen inches
(18”) from a combustible wall or ceiling. If you are using double wall or shielded pipe the
clearance can be reduced to six inches (6”). Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation
instructions and directions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings. Check
your local codes.
D. Installation of a New Flue System
1. Masonry Flue: If you are considering a masonry flue system, you should consult with
your local building officials for the proper procedures in constructing this type flue
system. We recommend a licensed, bonded contractor build this type system.
Most masonry flues are placed against the outside wall and extend upward beside the
house. The flue thimble is then inserted through the wall, making the connection with the
vertical flue pipe; you must maintain proper clearance between the connecting pipe and
any combustibles in the wall. Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation and
directions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings. Check codes in
your area.

We also recommend (for easy access and clean out) that you have a flue door
located at least two feet (2’) below your flue thimble connection. This door should be
made as airtight as possible. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the chimney
system is safe and in good operating condition. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for an accident attributed to a stove connected to a faulty chimney.
2. Pre-Manufactured Flue System: In the past few years pre-manufactured flue pipe
systems have become very popular, because this type system is easily installed. When
installed properly this system is also very safe. In making your choice be sure the
system has a recognized label of approval such as UL, B.O.C.A. or I.C.B.O. -- any of
these approvals will ensure the flue system is constructed of the proper materials and
meets required safety standards. Your local dealer will normally handle a top grade and
approved flue system.
There are two very popular methods for installation of a pre-manufactured flue
system. The first, most popular and least expensive is through the ceiling and out the
roof. This is the most direct route and creates a tremendous draw because fewer pipes
are required. It is less expensive because insulated pipe is only needed from the ceiling
and up; single wall 24-gauge or thicker pipe is used from the stove to the ceiling.
The second method is to go through the wall and up the outside of the structure.
This method is more expensive because more insulated pipe is required -- you must use
insulated pipe through the wall and up the outside of your home. You must maintain the
proper clearances to combustibles in either installation. The pipe manufacturer furnishes
a wall thimble and ceiling support box and, when installed properly, the required safety
clearances will be met. If you choose a pre-manufactured flue system and do not feel
qualified or capable of installing it, your dealer should be able to recommend a qualified
contractor. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the flue system is safe and in
good operating condition. The manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident
attributed to a stove connected to a faulty flue system. Follow the pipe manufacturer’s
installation and directions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings.
Check codes in your area.
Note: Flue systems and pipe are not furnished with this unit; they must be
purchased separately. Do not install a pipe damper with this stove.
SECTION II: FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION
A. Floor Protection
If the floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete, you
are not required to have floor protection. If the floor is constructed of a combustible
material such as hardwood, carpet or linoleum, floor protection must be placed between
the unit and the combustible material.
There are many stove and wallboards on the market and you should be very careful
in your selection. The board must be UL approved. The approved protector should
provide a minimum of eight inches (8”) behind the unit and on each side and a minimum
of sixteen inches (16”) in the front of the stove where the door is located. This stove
requires a minimum 48” x 48” size floor protector.

B. Wall Protection
This stove can be placed within thirty inches (30”) of a combustible wall such as
paneling and wallboard. The local code in your area should be checked, as some areas
do require more than thirty inches (30”). If you need to place the unit closer to a
combustible wall some type wall protection will be required. An approved wallboard can
be used to reduce the clearance by mounting the board to the wall with a one-inch (1”)
air space between the board and the wall -- this will reduce the clearance by two-thirds
(2/3), or to twelve inches (12”) in thirty inch (30”) local code areas. The wallboard only
needs to be six inches (6”) higher than the top of the unit. If the stove is placed this
close to the wall it will require you to use shielded or double wall pipe, which will allow a
clearance of six inches (6”) from the pipe to a combustible surface.
SECTION III: PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
A. Placement
The first problem you might encounter is getting the unit into your home, as our
stoves are well-constructed and rather heavy. The door and firebrick can be removed to
lighten the load; we recommend that a diagram of the brick placement be made if you do
decide to remove the firebrick. Never attempt to handle one of our units alone. As a rule,
three or four adults can handle one of our units; however, we still recommend using a
handcart. After the stove has been placed in position, replace the brick and door. The
spring handles can then be installed on the door and damper rods by turning them
counterclockwise. The flue collar and any accessories can then be added to the unit.
B. Chimney Connector
The chimney connector pipe must be 24-gauge steel pipe and six inches (6”) in
diameter. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe as they will not withstand the
extreme temperatures generated by this stove. Do not use single wall chimney
connector pipe as a chimney on any stove -- you must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those listed earlier in this manual.
The chimney connector pipe should be connected to the stove with the crimped end
inserted in the flue collar. This will allow any creosote that forms inside the pipe to run
back inside the stove and not down the outside of your chimney connector pipe. All joints
should be sealed with stove cement and secured with sheet metal screws.
For proper operation, the connector pipe should be as short as possible and also
have as few elbows as possible. Horizontal runs of connector pipe should not exceed six
feet (6’) and must have an upward slope of one-quarter inch (1/4”) per foot. The
standard clearance for connector pipe is eighteen inches (18”), which must be
maintained unless you are using double wall pipe, shielded pipe or wall protection.
Note: The manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident attributed to a unit
connected to a faulty chimney or flue system.
*IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage
caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation.
