FACTORY BUill
CHIMNEYS
A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY IS A LISTED RESIDENTIAL TYPE AND BUILDING HEATING APPLIANCE
CHIMNEY.
GENERALLY, IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE TO CONSTRUCT A FACTORY BUILT RATHER THAN A
MASONRY CHIMNEY. A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY DOES NOT NEED A SPECIAL FOUNDATION AND CAN BE
SUPPORTED BY THE ROOFOR CEILING OF YOUR HOUSE. FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEYS COME IN A NUMBER
OF SIZES. YOUR DOVRE UNIT REQUIRES A 6" DIAMETER PIPE. BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY
MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
STOVE PIPE OR CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
YOUR DOVRE UNIT NEEDS 6" SINGLE -WALL CHIMNEY TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE CHIMNEY FLUE.
BY PLACING THE UNIT AS CLOSE TO THE CHIMNEY AS ALLOWED BY CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES,
YOU WILL KEEP THE STOVEPIPE AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE
SMOKE AND EXHAUSTED GAS TO FLOW SMOOTHLY INTO THE CHIMNEY.
HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF
STOVEPIPE SHOULD BE KEPT SHORT, AS THEY COLLECT SOOT AND CREOSOTE MORE EASILY AND,
THEREFORE, REQUIRE CLEANING MORE OFTEN.
ANY HORIZONTAL RUN OF STOVEPIPE MUST HAVE A SLIGHT RISE AWAY FROM THE UNIT OF 1/4" PER
FOOT OF PIPE. THIS WILL DIRECT ANY CONDENSCtTEFLOW BACK INTO THE UNIT WHERE IT CAN BE
BURNED SAFELY.
A LISTED DOUBLE -WALL
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR OR LISTED CONNECTORS MAY BE USED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPTIONAL BACKSHIELD TO REDUCE THE CLEARANCES TO THE BACKWALL. SEE
THE CLEARANCE TABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION.
