CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS
Whether you install your wood heating appliance with a factory-built chimney or masonry chimney, there
are certain rules that must be followed. The following guidelines for chimney installation are included in
this manual to augment the information supplied with either the manufacturer's information for factory-built
chimneys or to insure that your present masonry chimney is suitable for this wood heating appliance. Do
not use makeshift methods or compromise in installation of any chimney equipment.
The 3-Foot, 2-Foot, 10-Foot Rule
The 3-foot, 2-foot, 10-foot rule states that all chimneys (factory-built or masonry) must be:
1. At least 3 feet higher than the highest part of the roof opening through which it passes;
2. And at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet, measured horizontally. A chimney
must meet requirement #1 and requirement #2. This rule, required by all building codes, applies to
both factory-built and masonry chimneys.
Minimum Chimney Height on a Sloped Roof
2' Minimum
10' 3' Minimum

Minimum Chimney Height on a Flat Roof
42"
24"
18"
Less
Than 10'
36"
6"
10' or Greater
Wall or
Parapet
"A" "B"
These minimum chimney heights are required by building codes for safety purposes, to allow time for
sparks exiting a chimney to cool before they land on the roof. In some problematic situations, additional
chimney height above the specified minimums may be necessary to reduce wind-induced down drafting
and back puffing, or to increase draft, thereby improving appliance operating characteristics.

Page 6
CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS (Cont.)
Factory-Built Chimneys
Depending on the manufacturer and where the chimney is to be installed, special supports, roof
assemblies, radiation shields, or locking bands may be supplied as a part of the chimney system. The
manufacturer's installation instructions, which are reviewed by the listing agency, specifies when and
where each of these components must be used.
There are three standard installations with factory-built chimneys. Each type of installation should use
flashing and an adjustable storm collar at the roof line to prevent water from entering the house.
Manufacturers require that chimneys extending beyond a certain height above the roof (frequently above
5 feet) must also be braced.
A chimney cap keeps out rain, birds and other animals, and may reduce down drafts. Spark arresters,
wire mesh devices designed to catch sparks and burning particles emitted with the smoke, may be
included with factory-built chimney caps. These spark arresters may become encrusted with creosote,
blocking the proper flow of flue gases out of the chimney. When burning wood, it is recommended that the
spark arrester be cleaned regularly, or removed entirely unless individual conditions or local codes
require their use.
Determining the Distance Between the Chimney and Combustibles
The chimney must be kept a minimum distance of 2" away from combustibles (e.g., drywall, wood framing,
etc.). The distance between the outside surface of a chimney and combustibles is measured horizontally,
at right angles to the chimney. The pitch of the platform (e.g., the roof) must be considered in calculating
the size of the hole that is cut.

Determining the Distance Between the Chimney and Combustibles (Continued)
Installers may find it convenient to create hole cut-out templates for pitches common to their area rather
than performing the calculations or using a trial "cut and measure" system for each installation.
Carefully read the specifications, as minimum clearances other than 2 inches are sometimes required by
the manufacturer. Maintain a minimum clearance of 2" or what the manufacturer requires, whichever is
greater.
Masonry Chimneys
If you are going to use an existing masonry chimney for your wood heating appliance make sure the
chimney is inspected and found in good and safe condition. If the existing chimney is not in good
condition repairs should be made before installation.
WARNING:
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
Do not use makeshift compromises in the installation.

FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Your Lopi 520-96 appliance comes completely assembled. The options available for the freestanding
method of installation are listed below and require assembly.
1. Pedestal
2. Leg Kit, Steel
3. Leg Kit, Brass
4. Leg Kit, Cast
5. Blower, Rear
6. Outside Air (Available with Pedestal or Outside Air Boot and Legs)
1. Pedestal Assembly:
Open the box marked Pedestal and
remove the pedestal and the two
attachment bolts and washers (3/8"
diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts).
Optional Air Intake Port
Attach the pedestal
to the stove here
Lift the stove onto the pedestal. Line up the threaded bolt holes in the bottom of the stove with the two
holes in the tabs that stick out of the side of the pedestal. Using an open-end or socket wrench, fasten the
pedestal to the stove with the supplied bolts and washers.
2. Steel Leg Kit Assembly:
Open the box marked Steel Leg Kit and remove the four 6 1/2" high black steel legs, complete with
rubber-tipped leveling bolts, the four attachment bolts (3/8" diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts) and the
washers.
Raise the stove on some pieces of lumber to a height of about 7".
Line up the hole in the top of the leg with the threaded bolt hole
in each corner of the stove bottom. Using a 9/16" open end or
socket wrench, fasten the leg to the stove with the supplied
attachment bolts and washers, making sure the legs are flush
with the corners of the stove.
Attach Bolt (with
washer) to Stove
From Below
To level the stove, first make sure the leveling bolts with the rubber ends (some models come with steel
bolts -- the same directions apply) are screwed into position and backed off just enough to penetrate
below the steel portion of the leg. Unscrew each leveling bolt just enough so each leveling bolt is an
equal distance from the floor. You may wish to use a piece of wood or other spacer to measure this
distance. Next, lower the stove onto the ground and check for a level position. If slight adjustments need
to be made, make sure to first raise the stove before turning the leveling bolts or moving the stove. The
rubber tips of the leveling bolts will tear if they are adjusted or slid while weight is applied to them.

FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)
3. & 4. Brass and Cast Legs Assembly:
Open the box marked Brass (or Cast) Leg Kit and remove the four 7 7/8" high legs, complete with rubber-
tipped leveling bolts, the four attachment bolts (3/8" diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts) and the washers.
Use the same directions listed above for the steel legs assembly. The one difference is that the brass (or
cast) legs are taller, and the stove should be lifted approximately 8 1/2" above the floor before attachment.
Attach Bolt (with
washer) to Stove

5. Blower, Rear
The rear blower is designed to improve the natural convection of the stove by pushing air through the
convection chamber of the stove and causing the heated air to exit through the vents along the top of the
stove. The blower mounts to the back of the stove centered on the lower edge with three screws. It also
has a thermodisk assembly which turns the blower on and off automatically. Follow the directions below
to attach the blower.
1. Before installing the blower, first remove the two knock-outs on the bottom rear edge of the stove by
prying them out with a screwdriver. They are approximately 1" by 6" and are located near the rear
edge of the stove.
Do not remove. The front knock-out
is for the outside air connection.
Remove these knock-outs for the
universal rear blower.
2. Feed the two wires coming from the thermodisk assembly through the stove and out the left side
knock-out that was removed in step 1. Take the thermodisk assembly and insert it directly below the
ashlip into the left side of the air intake. The thermodisk assembly should be positioned just behind
the support tab that sits at an angle to the left front corner.

5. Blower, Rear (Continued)
The thermodisk must come in contact
with the bottom of the firebox when it is
installed. To insure this, bend the metal
portion of the thermodisk assembly up or
down to create a snug fit.

knock-outs removed
in step 1. Insert the
two thermodisk wires
into the eye of the
wire clip and pull the
slack wire out of the
stove.
Slide the wire clip over the
edge of the strip of metal
between the two knock-outs.
Feed the two thermodisk
wires into the eye of the
wire clip.
NOTE: The wires coming from the thermodisk assembly must not have too much slack
Ð these wires pass near the firebox and can cause a short if the slack is not
taken in and held in place with the wire clip. Do not pull so hard on the wires
that you dislodge the thermodisk housing from its location.
There are two yellow wires coming out of the blower box. These two wires must exit the blower box
from the top, not through the small access hole in the back. Re-route these wires so they exit out of
the top of the blower box. Attach these two wires to the two wires coming from the thermodisk by
connecting the mating quick-connects. It does not matter which wire from the blower box connects to
which wire from the thermodisk assembly. Push all of the excess wire into the cavity inside the blower
box.
3. Place the blower box near the bottom
rear of the stove and push any slack
wire into the blower box so that when
the blower box is attached the excess
wire will not contact the stove.
4. Attach the blower box to the bottom
rear of the stove with the three screws
provided. Push the blower box up
against the stove while tightening the
screws.
The two yellow wires
attach to the thermodisk.

REAR BLOWER OPERATION
The blower controls are located on the switch box
that is connected by a cord to the blower. There
are two rocker switches that determine the speed
and mode (automatic or manual) of the blower.
The two speeds are RUN (slower) and STARTUP
(faster). The two modes are AUTO (the
thermodisk controls the switch and the
temperature of the firebox will determine when the
blower starts or stops) and MAN (manual Ð the
blower will run on the speed setting selected).
The blower should be switched "OFF" for
approximately 30 minutes after each reload of the
stove. This is to allow the stove to reach
operating temperature.

FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)
6. Outside Air (Available with Pedestal or Outside Air Boot and Legs)
The outside air option allows the stove to use outside air for combustion instead of room air. This is a
requirement for mobile home installations. Both the outside air boot and pedestal (with outside air
installed) work in the same fashion. Instead of having the air enter through the air intake under the ashlip,
the outside air option re-routes the air intake so the air is drawn from outside. This section will address
the special installation factors that must be considered when installing this model of stove with outside air.
THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE OUTSIDE AIR BOOT AND
PEDESTAL WITH OUTSIDE AIR ARE INCLUDED WITH THOSE KITS AND MUST BE READ
PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE STOVE.
The most important factor that must be
considered when installing outside air with
your stove is placement. Make detailed
plans to determine the precise location for
your stove. When installing the outside air
option there are two placement
considerations that must be addressed
simultaneously. They are:
1. Does the stove line up with the flue in the
right location, avoiding structural
members of the roof?
2. Does the hole that is cut in the floor and
hearth for the outside air avoid all
structural members of the floor?
These two questions must be considered in
determining the final location for the stove.
To determine the size, shape, and location of
the hole in the hearth and floor, refer to the
directions included with the outside air boot
or pedestal. To determine the size and
location of the hole in the roof, refer to the
directions included with the chimney being
used and the location of the flue collar in the
section "FREESTANDING INSTALLATION -
SPECIFICATIONS"
See the illustration to the right.

Remove this knock-out for the
outside air connection.
Do not remove. These knock-outs
are for the universal rear blower.
After the precise location
of the stove is determined,
the outside air boot or
pedestal with outside air
should be installed prior to
installing the stove.
Follow the directions
included with the outside
air boot or pedestal. Make
sure to remove the correct
knock-out for the outside
air option. See the
illustration to the left.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Standard Ceiling Installation
When installing a freestanding stove into a residence with a standard ceiling, certain precautions should
be taken to insure a safe installation. The directions below illustrate one way to install your freestanding
stove into a standard ceiling with a factory-built chimney. There are several other alternative methods.
Check with your dealer or installer for information on other options available to you.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT NO CEILING
SUPPORT MEMBER BE CUT FOR CHIMNEY
AND SUPPORT BOX INSTALLATION. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO CUT THEM, THE MEMBERS
MUST BE MADE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
1. Make sure the factory built chimney satisfies
all of the rules in the section titled
"CHIMNEY INFORMATION &
REGULATIONS".
2. Follow all of the regulations and guidelines
specified in the sections titled
"FREESTANDING INSTALLATION -
SPECIFICATIONS" and "PREPARATION
FOR INSTALLATION - FREESTANDING".
3. Carefully place the stove on top of the floor
protection and join the chimney connector to
the stove. When determining the placement
of the stove, make sure to take into
consideration the necessary clearances to
combustibles and the placement of the
chimney.
NOTE: When the chimney connector extends to a
standard ceiling, as shown to the right, a support
package and sometimes a chimney connector
adapter are installed at the ceiling.
Working from the attic or roof, sufficient sections of
factory-built chimney (available in different
lengths) are installed to go through the space
above the ceiling, then through and above the
roof to the correct height above the roof line. The
chimney sections should be stacked and locked
securely as specified by the manufacturer. A
minimum clearance of 2 inches is typically
required between the outside surface of the
factory-built chimney and any combustibles or
insulation; the air space around the chimney
never must be filled with insulation or any other
material.

IMPORTANT: Because of the slope of the cathedral ceiling, care should be taken to extend the chimney
sufficiently far into the room so that the chimney connector will meet the minimum clearances requirement
from the sloped combustible ceiling. The greater the pitch of the ceiling, the further into the room the
chimney section must extend. Use the concepts from "CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS" to
accurately measure the appropriate distance from a sloping ceiling.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to follow all guidelines provided by the manufacturer of the chimney for safety
in installation.

3. Carefully place the stove on top of
the floor protection and join the
chimney connector to the stove.
When determining the placement
of the stove, make sure to take into
consideration the necessary
clearances to combustibles and
the placement of the chimney.
NOTE: An exterior chimney is subject to
cold outdoor temperatures, leading to
greater heat loss, creosote
accumulation, and moisture
condensation in the chimney. To reduce
this possibility, the chimney may be
enclosed in a chase. Specified
minimum clearances from combustibles
must be maintained. If the chase is
insulated, the insulated walls should be
sheathed with dry-wall or covered with
wire mesh to keep the insulation in
place. If the chase is to go through an
eaves area, a firestop must be used to
prevent air flow between the chase and
the attic. This is to isolate the chase/attic
area from fire and to prevent attic
insulation from falling into the chase
enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to follow all
guidelines provided by the manufacturer
of the chimney for safety in installation.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION (Cont.)
Hearth Stove Installation Using a Positive Connection
When installing a freestanding stove into a masonry fireplace that is using a positive connection, certain
precautions should be taken to insure a safe installation. The advantages of this type of connection are
excellent chimney draft and ease of cleaning. A block-off plate is not needed for this type of installation
because the positive connection provides sufficient draft. If one is used, it need not be airtight. The
directions below illustrate one way to install your freestanding stove into a positive connection factory-built
chimney. There are several other alternative methods. Check with your dealer or installer for information
on other options available to you.
1. Install the positive connection (reline) through the masonry chimney according to the manufacturer's
instructions for installation and support. Make sure to follow all of the manufacturer's safety
precautions during assembly. Inspect the masonry chimney and make sure the chimney is in good
and safe condition. If the existing chimney is not in good condition, repairs should be made before
installation. Make sure the masonry fireplace and positive connection conform to all of the rules
outlined in the section titled "CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS".
2. If a block-off plate is desired (optional), follow the directions for making a block-off plate in the section
titled "INSTALLATION OF A FIREPLACE BLOCK-OFF PLATE".
3. Follow all of the clearance regulations for placement of your stove specified in the sections titled
"FREESTANDING INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS" and "PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION -
FREESTANDING ".
4. If you are using a block-off plate, slide the pipe into the plate up through the damper. If you are not
using a block-off plate, make sure the last segment of the positive connection will reach the stove
once it is in place.
5. You may now place your stove into position so that it lines up with the chimney connector.
6. With the connector in place, you now have completed the positive connection for your insert. It is a
good idea to check your connection by trying to rock the chimney connector back and forth. If it feels
snug, a good connection is established. If you can feel some play when you rock it back in forth,
make sure that the stove is properly aligned and that the connector fits tight into the flue collar on the
top of the stove.
7. Check the diagram on the following page. Make sure all of the items listed are complete.
Follow these directions in reverse order for periodic inspection and cleaning.
WARNING: Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
Do not use makeshift compromises in the installation.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to follow all guidelines provided by the manufacturer of the chimney for safety
in installation.
