Section 3: Flue System/Direct Vent/Power Vent
This stove is designed to connect to a flue system such as masonry or a pre-manufactured lined pipe system that
meets local code requirements. If you plan to use an existing 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 prior to installation.
With either type system, it is absolutely necessary to clean it prior to installation of this stove. A qualified
chimney sweep can clean and inspect your system, and in a lot of 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. Also, stoker stoves
must always be installed with a BAROMETRIC DAMPER. A damper is available from your dealer.
A: REQUIRED FLUE SIZE
NOTE: If power vented, refer to Power Vent section (Section 3B).
The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar on the unit. This stove is equipped with
a six (6) inch flue collar. This stove would require a six (6) inch pipe; smaller diameter pipe should never be used.
The area of the chimney liner should 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 (6) inch flue collar is 28.27 square inches; therefore, the area of the
flue liner should not be more than 84.2 square inches.
CAUTION: The connector pipe should be a 24-gauge steel pipe and must be eighteen (18) inches away from a
combustible wall or ceiling. If you are using double wall or shielded pipe the clearance can be reduced to six (6)
inches. Please follow the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings.
Check your local codes prior to installation.
