Chimney Connector Guidelines:
Chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe
that connects the stove to the chimney. The chimney is a
masonryor prefabricatedstructure thatencloses the ue.
Chimneyconnectorsareusedonlytomaketheconnection
from the stove to the chimney.
Double-wallchimneyconnectorsmustbetestedandlistedfor
usewithsolid-fuelburningappliances.Single-wallchimney
connectorsshouldbemadeof24gaugeorheaviersteel,and
shouldbe6"(150mm)indiameter.Donotusegalvanized
connector; it cannot withstand the high temperatures that
canbereachedbysmokeandgases,andmayreleasetoxic
fumes under high heat.
Ifpossible, donot pass thechimney connectorthrough a
combustiblewallorceiling.Ifpassagethroughacombustible
wall is unavoidable, refer to the section following on Wall
Pass-Throughs.Donotpassthechimneyconnectorthrough
anattic,acloset,oranysimilarconcealedspace.Thewhole
connectorshouldbeexposedandaccessibleforinspection
and cleaning.
Inhorizontalrunsofsingle-wallchimneyconnectorwithout

mm)fromtheceiling.Forinformationonreducedclearances
using shields on single-wall chimney connector or using
double-wallconnectors.

OR JOINING SECTIONS OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR.
Masonry Chimneys:
Aninspectionofthechimneymustconrmthatithasalining.
Do not use an unlined chimney. The chimney should have no
cracks,loosemortar,othersignsofdeterioration,orblockage.
Repairanydefectsbeforeusingthechimneywithyourstove.
Sealanyunusedopeningsinanexistingmasonrychimney

cement.Intheeventofachimneyre,amesandsmoke
may be forced out of these unused thimbles.
The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.
A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the
standardsofyourlocalbuildingcodeor,intheabsenceofa
localcode,toarecognizednationalcode.Masonrychimneys

listed in this manual.
NOTE: ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE INTREPID II IS
NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.
Stove Heat Shields
TheIntrepidIIRearHeatShieldisonewaytoreducethe
clearance to the rear wall. The rear heat shield may be
installedoneitherrear-ortop-exitingstoves.However,since
the chimney connector also radiates heat toward the wall
intop-exitinginstallations,eithersingle-wallconnectorwith
connectorheatshields,orlistedandapproveddouble-wall
chimney connector should be used whenever the rear heat
shieldisusedontop-exitingstoves.
Clearance reductions with the rear heat shield apply only to
the wall to the rear in parallel installations. Neither the side
clearance requirement nor the clearance requirement in
corner installations may be reduced.
Wall Shields
Clearances may be reduced by using a wall shield constructed
of 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, or of another non-
combustiblematerialsuchas1/2"(13mm)insulationboard
orcommonbrick“laidonat,”withthe3-1/2"(90mm)side
down.Figure13showssuchawallshield.
Keep the Stove and Connector a Safe Distance from
Surrounding Materials:
Both a stove and its chimney connector radiate heat in all
directions when operating, and dangerous overheating of
nearby combustible materials can occur if they are too close to
theheat.Asafeinstallationrequiresthatadequateclearance
be maintained between the hot stove and its connector and
nearby combustibles.
Clearance is the distance between either your stove
(measuredfromthebackedgeofthestove’stopplate)or
chimneyconnector,andnearbywalls,oors,theceiling,and
anyotherxedcombustiblesurface.Yourstovehasspecial
clearance requirements that have been established after
careful research and testing to UL and ULC standards. These
clearance requirements must be strictly observed.
Inaddition,furnishingsandothercombustiblematerialsmust
bekeptawayfromthestoveaswell.Ingeneral,adistanceof
48"(1220mm)mustbemaintainedbetweenthestoveand
movablecombustibleitemssuchasdryingclothes,furniture,
newspapers,rewood,etc.Keepingthoseclearanceareas
empty assures that nearby surfaces and objects will not
overheat.
Reducing Clearances:
Stove clearances may be reduced by using heat shields
attached to the stove. Chimney connector clearances may
bereducedbyusingheatshieldsonsingle-wallconnector,
orbyusingdouble-wallconnector.Clearancesmayalsobe
reducedbyusingwallshields.Allshieldingusedtoreduce
clearancesmustbelistedbyarecognizedtestinglaboratory
and approved by the local regulatory body.
Clearancerequirementsareestablishedformanydierent
installations.Ingeneral,thegreatestclearanceisrequired
when you are placing a stove and its connector with no heat
shields near a wall with no heat shield.
Forexample,whentheIntrepidIIisinstalledparalleltothe
rearwallandnoshieldingisused,itmustbe at least30"
(760mm)fromthewallbehinditandatleast24"(610mm)
from walls on either side.
IftheIntrepidIIisinstalledinacornerandnoshieldsare
used,thecornersofthestovemustbeatleast20"(510mm)
from nearby walls.
The least clearance is required when both the stove and its
connector,aswellasthewall,haveheatshields.
Whenshieldsareattachedtothestoveorchimneyconnector,
theyaremounted1"-2"(25-51mm)awayfromthestoveor

Smoke and CO Detectors:
The use of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors
throughout the home is strongly advised, even if not
required by building codes or insurance regulations.
It is a good idea to install a smoke detector in the living
areas and each bedroom. Follow the smoke/CO detector
manufacturer's placement and installation instructions and
maintain regularly.
You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the
immediate vicinity of the stove. Depending on the sensitivity
oftheunit,thealarmcanbesetowhileyouaretending
thereoremptyingtheashes.Ifyouinstalladetectorinthe
sameroom,locateitasfarawayfromthestoveaspossible.
Safety Tips:
Convenientlylocatea"ClassA"reextinguishertocontend
with small res. Be sure the re extinguisher works and
is clearly visible.All occupants of the house shouldknow
whereitis,andhowitoperates.Haveheavystovegloves
availablenearthe stove. Havespecialsafetyaccessories
(e.g.,ChildGuardScreen)availableforuseifsmallchildren
will be in the home.
In the event of a stove pipe or chimney re….
• Evacuate the house immediately
• Notifytheredepartment
• If the re isn't too threatening, closing down the stove
tight,(damper,primaryair,alldoors)willhelptosmother
there.
• Inspect your stove, stove pipe and chimney for any
damage caused by the re and correct any damage
before using your stove again.
