How it works:
The chimney system allows your stove or fireplace to exhaust flue gases while a draft creates the draw that pulls fresh combustion air into the stove. A well-balanced system provides an even, hot fire when it has good draft. The draft suction keeps smoke from coming into the room. Insulation in the chimney pipe is important because it helps keep the exhaust hot until it is expelled outside. Heat in the chimney makes draft, which pulls in more combustion air. This creates a hotter fire, delivering more heat to the chimney, resulting in more draft. The size of the flue is important for the system to work efficiently. The appliance manufacturers installation instructions will indicate how to size the flue to match the stoves flue collar. Stovepipe connects to the stove. It is the usually black interior pipe that transitions from the stove to the chimney pipe with an adapter. It is not insulated and cannot penetrate ceilings or walls. Chimney pipe is an insulated pipe that is rated to pass through walls and ceilings. In addition to the chimney pipe, supports to hold the system in place, and shields to protect areas from combusting, are needed for the system. The flashing, storm collar and chimney cap are required to seal the system from moisture penetration.
Is double wall stove pipe necessary?
It depends on your clearance to combustibles. Single wall black stove pipe needs to be at least 18" from combustibles, will radiate more heat than double wall black stove pipe (desirable in most cases), costs way less, and can be cut to length if needed. Double wall black stove pipe has a 6" from combustibles. Mobile home installations require double wall black stove pipe for added safety.
How to connect 6" stove pipe?
Prior to beginning your installation, please verify what style connector pipe you have. You may have "Locking Tab" style, or "Trim Ring" style
For "Locking Tab" connectors, push the pipe in firmly, until the locking notches engage the top of the rim of the hole in the support box. For "Trim Collar" style connector, insert the pipe into the support box. Slide the trim collar on and slide up to the support box, until it is next to the pipe bead. Using the four pre-punched holes in the trim collar as a guide, drill 1/8" diameter holes in the support box, and affix using the sheet metal screws provided. It is extremely important that the Support Box be positioned so that the single wall pipe is at least 18" from the combustible wall, and also that the support box protrudes at least 2" below the ceiling. Reposition the Support Box if necessary, to meet these two requirements.
