professional. Do Not use a chimney that is unlined

or damaged!) If you have any question regarding the

condition of the chimney, consult a qualiﬁed licensed

contractor, qualiﬁed engineer, competent mason, cer-

tiﬁed Chimney Sweep, or a knowledgeable inspector.

Consult your insurance company if you cannot ﬁnd a

qualiﬁed expert.

CAUTION: NOT ALL FIREPLACE CHIMNEYS

ARE SUITABLE FOR CONVERSION TO AC-

COMMODATE A WOOD STOVE. CHECK WITH

A QUALIFIED EXPERT.

Many prefabricated ﬁreplaces are of the “zero-

clearance ﬁreplace” category. These consist of multi

layered metal construction. They are designed with

enough insulation and/or air cooling on the base, back

and sides so they can be safely installed in direct con-

tact with combustible ﬂoors and walls. Although many

prefabricated ﬁreplaces carry endorsements from na-

tionally recognized organizations for use as ﬁreplaces,

they have not been tested for connection to wood stove

heaters. Connecting a stove to such a device will void

the manufacturer’s warranty.

Venting a stove directly into a ﬁreplace does not

meet code and should not be attempted. The stove war-

ranty will be void with such an installation. Do not create

a hazard in your home by connecting in this manner.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROUTE THE CHIM-

NEY CONNECTOR PIPE THROUGH THE THROAT OF

THE FIREPLACE. Directly connecting the stovepipe

into the existing masonry chimney (ﬁgure 14 “Type

A” Fireplace Conversion) of the ﬁreplace is the ONLY

approved method of installation. This is a complicated

and involved process and to ensure safety should only

by done by a qualiﬁed installer.

1. An entry hole must be cut through the masonry and

tile liner with minimal damage to the liner. At least 8”

of liner must remain below the entry position. When

locating the stove and stovepipe, all minimum clear-

ances must be observed from combustible surfaces

including mantels, combustible trim work, ceilings,

and walls. Positioning the center of the stove pipe

entry into the chimney 24” below the ceiling should

insure proper clearance for a 6” stovepipe.

2. Install a ﬁre clay (5/8” minimum thickness) thimble.

Make sure the thimble is ﬂush with the inner surface

of the chimney liner and does not protrude into the

ﬂue (see ﬁgure 10 on page 9).

3. Secure the thimble with refractory mortar. The

thimble should be surrounded by 12” of solid unit

masonry brickwork or 24” of stone.

4. Install the stovepipe into the thimble as far as pos-

sible without extending past the ﬂue lining (see

ﬁgures 9 & 10 on pages 8 & 9).

5. A small airspace (about 1/2”) should remain

between the stovepipe and thimble to allow for

expansion of the pipe. Seal this airspace with high-

temperature caulking or ceramic wool.

6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed posi-

tion using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool, or

furnace cement. Also check to see if the chimney

has a clean out. If it does, make sure it is closed

and sealed as well. A leaky clean out will greatly

reduce draft efﬁciency.

If you have any questions regarding venting your

stove, contact the manufacturer or contact the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and request a copy

of the latest editions of NFPA Standard 211 and NFPA

Standard 908. Their address is:

Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
