4. round tiles are preferable to square or rectangular as round tiles have much better airflow characteristics and are far easier to clean Unfortunately most North American chimneys use square or rectangular tile liners that are really de signed for open fireplaces not stoves or furnaces Of most importance second only to overall chimney height is the diameter of the flue liner itself In most instances it should be sized to the appli ance i e 6 flue outlet on the appliance requires a 6 flue The inner diameter should never be less than the flue outlet diameter and should never be greater than 50 of the appliance flue outlet For example do not expect a wood burning stove or furnace to function properly if installed into a chimney with a flue liner greater than 50 the appliance outlet such as a 6 flue outlet requires a 6 diameter for optimum drafting but can function well with an 8 but becomes borderline beyond 8 diameter Masonry chimneys built of concrete blocks without flue liners of at least 5 8 fireclay do not meet modern building codes A STOVEPIPE CONNECTOR TYPE A SEALED AT THIMBLE FIREPLACE 24 GAUGE WITH 1 se CONVERSION ersroveriPe eveow za CLEARANCE REDUCER Bet Fig 7 FOR MANTEL a 6 STOVEPIPE HAVING roe THREE SHEET METAL SCREWS PER JOINT OF STOVEPIPE U L LISTED FLOOR PROTECTOR solid fuel appliance must not be joined to a chimney flue which is connected to another ap

PLACES ARE SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION OF A WOOD HEATER Many prefabricated fireplaces fall into the zero clearance fireplace category This is a factory metal fireplace with multi layered construction Itis designed to provide enough insulation and or air cooling so that the base back and sides can be safely placed in close contact with combustible floors and walls Al though many prefabricated fireplaces have been tested by nationally recog nized organizations for use as fire places they have not been tested to accept heaters Infact their use as such may void the manufacturer s warranty Steel lined fireplaces on the other hand can be used with heaters These units use a 1 4 inch fire box liner and an air chamber in connection with 8 inches of masonry to meet code They contain all the essential parts of a fireplace firebox damper throat smoke shelf and smoke chamber Many of them look exactly like a masonry fireplace and must be checked closely for above re quirements before installing a coal heater into them Another method frequently used by some people is to vent the heater di rectly into the fireplace This does not meet code since the heater is being vented into another appliance the fireplace This method should not be attempted because combustion prod ucts will deposit and build up in the firebox or fireplace Be certain not to install a hazard in you house You will void your warranty with this i
