LOCATING STOVE continued…
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick extends the life of your stove and radiates
heat more evenly. Check to see that all firebricks are in
their correct positions and have not become misaligned
during shipping or assembly. If removed for ease of
locating stove, firebrick must be replaced before firing.
See diagrams, fig. 8a – 8c, for proper positioning.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE STOVE WITH
MISSING OR CRACKED FIRE BRICKS!

1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe fits into
the stove flue collar. Secure with three sheet metal
screws. Notice: For side or rear venting, you must
have a minimum 24” vertical rise from top of stove
to horizontal pipe sections (see fig. 7).
2. Horizontal pipe must slope up towards the chimney
at least 1/4” per foot of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(fig. 9).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90 degree bends be used in the stovepipe instal-
lation. The use of more than two 90 degree bends
may decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These provide
a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an attic
or roof space, closet, or any concealed space, or
floor, ceiling, wall or combustible construction. (See
Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page
19). A UL 103 HT Listed (U.S.) chimney must be
used from the first penetration of ceiling or wall to
the chimney cap.
