COMBUSTION AIR

Insure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling

(range hoods, dryers, etc). In airtight houses it is recommended to install a fresh air inlet into the room

where the stove is located, this to prevent air starvation.

DRAFT

Draft is created by the heated air rising in the chimney system. This draft will pull fresh combustion air

into the firebox. Recommended draft is .05 in. w.c at high fire. Too little draft results in a sluggish fire

and smoking when the stove door is opened. Too much draft (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to

operate the stove. Use a barometric control or key damper if necessary to avoid excessive draft.

VENTING SYSTEMS

The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during

use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote fire. To

protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly

installed and maintained. A listed thimble must be used when a connection is made through a

combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made

through the ceiling to a listed prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to

provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material.

This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed factory built chimney suitable for

use with solid fuels and conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or UL-103HT in the USA. Do not connect it

to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will affect the safe operation of both appliances, and

will void the stove warranty. You must comply with the local authority having jurisdiction and/or

in Canada, CSA installation standard B365-M87.

Blaze King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner, preferably insulated, inside a

masonry chimney. This to maintain proper draft and better working of the unit.

The chimney connector must be 6” diameter, 24/26 MSG Black/Blue steel. Do not use aluminum or

galvanized steel. They cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. The

chimney connector between the stove and the chimney should be as short and direct as possible.

Blaze King recommends the use of double wall pipe and two 45° elbows instead of a single 90° elbow.

A minimum 36” rise is recommended prior to any elbows being used.

The chimney connector must be attached to either an approved masonry chimney or one of the listed

factory built chimneys suitable for use with solid wood fuel. All joints must be tight and fastened with

sheet metal screws.

WARNING: The chimney connector is to be used only within the room, between the stove and

ceiling/wall. Never use a chimney connector to pass through an attic or roof space, closet or

similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling. Always maintain the minimum clearances to

combustibles as required by the applicable building codes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - VENTING

Version 1.03

April 2011

Chinook CBT

Page 16

G:\pubdata\Manuals\English Manuals\OM-CK24 OM CK24C/CK24F

Chimney connector sections must be attached to the

stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the

stove (Fig. 8). This allows creosote to run into the stove

and not onto the outside of the pipe. All joints should be

secured with three metal screws. Otherwise, in the

event of a creosote fire, the connection may vibrate

apart. Horizontal lengths of chimney connector should

have an upward slope from the stove of 1/4 inch per

foot.

CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY

Should the stove be connected to a masonry chimney, the chimney should be examined for cracks, loose

mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage. The stove should not be installed until it is determined

that the chimney is safe for use. Since an oversized flue contributes to the accumulation of creosote, the

size of the flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. For this stove it is

recommended that the flue size should not exceed the overall area of a 6” flue (28.3 square inches). Blaze

King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner, preferably insulated, inside a masonry

chimney. This to maintain proper draft and better operation of the unit.

The chimney should also be checked to assure it meets the minimum standards of the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211. Following is a list of the more critical minimum requirements

for a properly constructed chimney.

1. The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block, must be a minimum of 4 inches nominal

thickness. A mountain or rubble stone wall must be at least 12 inches thick.

2. The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8 inch and

must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least 1/2-inch air space between the flue liner

and the chimney wall (Fig. 9). An equivalent liner might be a listed chimney liner system or other

approved material.

3. A chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches of clearance to the combustible structure. A

chimney outside the house must have at least one-inch clearance to the combustible structure. Fire

stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling (Fig. 10).

Remember that insulation must not contact the chimney. There must be air space around the chimney.

Insulation must be 2 inches or more from the chimney (Fig. 11).

4. A chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper draft

operation. The requirement is that the chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point

where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than the highest part of the roof or structure

that is within 10 feet of the chimney,

measured horizontally (Fig. 12).

THIMBLE

A thimble must be used when the connection from the stove is made

through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney. There are several

methods to use for connection through a combustible wall, two of which

are illustrated in this manual. Local building authorities may be consulted

or NFPA 211 may be used for additional methods of chimney

connection.

Also, listed prefabricated metal thimbles may be purchased for use with

wood stoves. The manufacturer's installation instructions for the thimbles

must be strictly followed to assure the safety of the system. Be sure to

maintain the designated clearance to combustible materials.

BRICK CHIMNEY THIMBLE ASSEMBLY

Construction of the brick thimble assembly requires 12 inches of

brick around a fire clay liner. Be sure the point of penetration

allows an 18 inch clearance from the connector to the ceiling. An

appropriate opening for a chimney connector must be cut in the

wall to maintain the required 12 inches of brick separation from

combustibles. It will be necessary to cut wall studs and install a

header and sill frame to maintain proper dimensions and to hold

the weight of the brick (Fig. 13). NOTE: Whenever cutting

through a wall, check first with local building authorities to be

sure building integrity is maintained. Minimum 3 1/2-inch (4-inch

nominal) thick solid bricks are to be used. The fire clay liner

(ASTM C35 or equivalent), minimum 5/8 inch wall thickness,

must not penetrate into the chimney beyond the inner surface of

the chimney flue liner and must be firmly cemented in place. If it

is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care

to keep it from shattering. Refractory mortar must be used at the

junction to the chimney liner (Fig. 14). After the assembly is

complete, insert the chimney connector in the fire clay liner. Do

not push it beyond the inside edge of the chimney liner because

this will affect the draw of the chimney.

PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY WITH METAL CHIMNEY SUPPORT AS THIMBLE

For the method of installation to a masonry chimney, it will be necessary to purchase a 12-inch long

section of prefabricated listed chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar and wall

band that are manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.

The safety features of this system are: the 2-inch air space between the chimney section and

combustible wall, and the 1-inch air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the

chimney section to the chimney.

The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18 inch vertical

clearance between the chimney connector and the ceiling to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.

For instructions on installation of the thimble, refer to chimney manufacturer's instructions.

If an exterior masonry chimney is

used you may have draft problems

due to the chimney being too cold.

Exterior masonry chimney’s

should be lined with a listed

(insulated) stainless steel liner for

better operation of these units.

CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed

precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package

or wall pass through and "T" section package, fire stops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,

chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.

This clearance is usually a minimum of 2 inches, although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain

components.

There are basically two methods of metal chimney installation. One method is to install the chimney inside

the residence through the ceiling(s) and the roof. The other method is to install an exterior chimney that

runs up the outside of the residence (not recommended). If it is necessary to run the chimney outside,

build an outside chase around the chimney.

The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper draft

operation. The requirement is that the chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point where

it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is

within 10 feet of the chimney, measured horizontally (Fig. 12). The height requirement is necessary in the

interest of safety and does not necessarily assure proper flue draft. Use a minimum total system height of

12 feet, measured from the stove flue collar to the top of the chimney, not including the chimney cap.

THIMBLE

When a wall exit installation is used, a listed assembly thimble must be installed. In a roof exit installation,

the ceiling support box supplied with the manufactured chimney acts as a thimble.

REMEMBER: Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and maintain the manufacturer's

specified clearance distances.
