A. Flue Components B. Use of Elbows
These models are approved to use Simpson Dura-Vent or
Hearth & Home Technologies series pipes, components and
termination. Approved components are labeled for identi ca-
tion. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved compo-
nent of the stove.
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED FLUE COMPONENTS.
Refer to the flue manufacturers instructions.
This product is approved to be flued either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may
flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved
adapter is used.
This gas stove is a balanced ue gas stove. All combus-
tion air must come directly from the outside of the building.
The ue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer
pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust out of the
system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into
the gas stove.
Fire Hazard.
Explosion Risk.
Asphyxiation Risk.
Do NOT connect this gas gas stove to a chimney
ue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning
gas stove.
Flue this gas stove directly outside.
• Use separate ue system for this gas stove.
May impair safe operation of this gas stove or
other gas stoves connected to the ue.
WARNING
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal flue aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical
aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. (See Figure
5.1.)
Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. On
45° runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 21.6 cm horizon-
tal run and 21.6 cm vertical run. A length of straight pipe is
allowed between two elbows. (See Figure 5.1.)

Step 1.
Determine the desired location of the gas stove. Check to
ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when
the flue system is being planned. If this is the case, you may
want to adjust the location of the gas stove.
E. Horizontal Termination
Step 3.
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for
a 25.4 cm x 25.4 cm square hole. The center of the square
hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal
pipe, as shown in Figure 5.12. Cut and frame the hole in
the exterior wall where the flue will be terminated. If the wall
being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material,
i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 17.8 cm diameter hole is
acceptable.

Balanced flue pipe is designed with a locking connection. To
connect the flue system to the gas stove flue outlet, a twist-
lock adapter is built into the gas stove at the factory. Wall
thickness may vary. Remember to include wall thickness in
minimum clearances when figuring flueing lengths for your
installation needs.

Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the
25.4cm x 25.4cm square hole and run a bead of non-harden-
ing mastic around its outside edges, to make a seal between
it and the wall. Attach termination cap to the exterior wall
with the four wood screws provided. The arrow on the flue
cap should be pointing up.
Note: Female ends of balanced flue pipe/elbows are
designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match and
slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see Figure 5.13.
Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until
the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs
may not be visible from the outside. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female ends.

2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Figure 5.14
Lay the trim ring on at surface and bend up the six welded
brackets into a 90 degree position. The brackets along the
outer edge of the ring are for locating the ring in the center
of the hole.
Figure 5.15
The heat shield is shipped at and must be hand bent into a
half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the heat
shield as shown.
Figure 5.16
Attach the heat shield to the trim ring with the four screws
provided. Screws go through the heat shield and into the
brackets on the trim ring.
Figure 5.17
When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make
sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the shield
is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 2 cm mini-
mum clearance maintained to combustibles from the top of
the heat shield.
Measure from the oor to the center of the ue pipe. Cut
out a 25.4 cm hole in the wall. Hold the trim ring/heat shield
assembly in place and put a mark on the shield with a black
marker where it protrudes through the exterior wall. Figure
A on the next page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield with
a pair of sheet metal shears.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 25.4 cm x 25.4 cm.
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, con-
crete, or other types of sidings.

Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 2.5 cm clear-
ances (air space) to combustibles when passing through
ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other
nearby combustible surfaces. (See Figure 5.14). Check the
instructions for maximum vertical rise of the flueing system,
and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. All offsets
must fall within the set parameters of the flue charts (Figure
5.2) located on pages 11-15.
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 11.8 M, Figure
5.2.

Step 2.
Set the gas gas stove in its desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the position of the gas stove
flue exit, and mark the location where the flue will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb
bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling,
and mark the spot where the flue will penetrate the roof.
Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will
obstruct the flueing system. You may wish to relocate the
gas stove, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.21 to avoid
cutting load bearing members.

Step 4.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary
to reach from the gas stove up through the round support
box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their
fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in
the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as
specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows
necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble
up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may
be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The
galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its
higher corrosion resistance (compared to black pipe).
NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions,
it is important to support the flue pipe every 91.4cm to
avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible
separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose,
Figure 5.10, page 15.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow
of flue gases and intake air.
Step 3.
To install the round support box/wall thimble cover in a flat
ceiling, cut a 25.4cm square hole in the ceiling, centered
on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in
Figure 5.22.

Step 6.
Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through
the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with
roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.23. Verify that the
chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch
table, Figure 4.3.
Step 7.
Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the
flue (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum
local code requirements. Note that for steep roof pitches, the
flue height must be increased. See Roof Pitch Table (Figure
4.3). In high wind conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines,
steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in
poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases increasing the
flue height or switching to the high wind termination cap may
solve this problem.
