Classic With Blower Installation and Operation Manual

• Flue pipe joints should overlap 30 mm (1 1/4 in.)

• Each joint in the assembly must be fastened with at least three screws.

• The assembly must have allowance for expansion: elbows in assemblies allow for

expansion; straight assemblies should include an inspection wrap with one end

unfastened, or a telescopic section.

• Minimum upward slope towards the chimney: 20 mm/m (1/4 in/ft.).

• One end of the assembly must be securely fastened to the flue collar with 3 sheet

metal screws and the other end securely fastened to the chimney.

• There must be provision for cleaning of the pipes, either through a clean out or by

removal of the pipe assembly. Removal of the assembly should not require that the

stove be moved.

• The male ends of the sections must be oriented towards the appliance so that falling

dust and condensation stay inside the pipe.

• A flue pipe must never pass through a combustible floor or ceiling or through an attic,

roof space, closet or concealed space.

• Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the

installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning

Appliances and Equipment.

The ideal flue pipe assembly is one that rises straight up from the appliance flue collar and

directly into the chimney with no elbows. A straight up connector assembly needs either a

telescopic length or an inspection wrap (pipe coupler) to allow it to be assembled and

disassembled without moving the stove.

A straight flue pipe assembly offers the least restriction to gas flow and results in stronger

draft. Straight assemblies also need less maintenance because there are no corners to

collect creosote.

The chimney connector must be in good condition.
