CHIMNEY
The Waterford Trinity MK II Stove is a radiant room
heater and must be connected to a chimney of the
proper size and type capable of providing an
adequate continuous draught or 0.06 wg minimum.
It is best to connect to a chimney of the same size
as the stove spigot. Connection to a large size may
result in somewhat less draught. DO NOT
CONNECT TO A CHIMNEY SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Minimum chimney height is 15 feet from floor on
which stove is installed. An existing masonry
chimney should be inspected and, if necessary,
repaired by a competent mason or relined using an
approved relining system. Poor draught conditions
will result in poor performance.
NOTE: Connection to type “B” gas vents approved
for connection to certain gas burning appliance will
only result in a fire.
CHIMNEY TYPES: USA ONLY
The stove must be connected to a UL 103 Listed
residential type HT and Building Heating Appliance
Chimney installed in accordance with
the
manufacturer’s instructions or a masonry chimney
constructed in accordance with NFPA 211 Chimney
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances.
CHIMNEY TYPES: CANADA ONLY
The stove must be connected to an Underwriters
Laboratories of Canada Labelled factory built 650
o
C
c h i m n e y, installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions or in a lined masonry
chimney acceptable to the authority having
jurisdiction.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The chimney connector (smoke pipe) is used to
connect the Waterford Trinity MK II Stove to the
chimney described above. The chimney connector
must be made of Corrosion Resistant Steel, 24
gauge or heavier (black or equivalently treated
steel). Be sure to fasten the chimney connectors
together and also to the flue outlet of the stove
through the two holes provided. Use at least two
screws for each joint/connection. Be sure that the
joints are tight and fully sealed.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space,
floor or ceiling.
Where passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation
shall conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA - B365.
The connector should maintain a pitch or rise of at
least
1/4
” per foot from the stove to the chimney. It
should be installed so as to avoid sharp turns or
other combustion features that would create
excessive resistance to the flow of flue gases. It
should be securely supported. The entire length of
a connector should be readily accessible for
inspection, cleaning and replacement.
CONNECTING TO MASONRY CHIMNEY
The connector to a masonry chimney must extend
through the wall to the inner face or liner but not
beyond, and must be firmly cemented to masonry.
The connector may pass through walls or partitions
constructed of combustible material to a masonry
chimney provided the connector system selected is
installed in accordance with the proper clearances
and conditions.
THIMBLES
Thimbles for chimney or vent connector should be
fire clay (ASTM C 315, specification for Clay Flue
Linings), galvanised steel of minimum thickness of
24 gauge, or material equivalent durability. Thimbles
should be installed without damage to the liner. The
thimble should extend through the wall to, but not
beyond, the inner face of the liner and should be
firmly cemented to masonry.
Thimbles should be located to provide adequate
pitch or rise of chimney or vent connectors and,
where the ceiling above the appliance is constructed
of combustible material, the location of the thimble
should provide minimum clearance required for the
connector as specified in section under “Minimum
Clearances to Combustibles”.
Insulation material used as part of wall pass-through
system should be of non-combustible material and
should have a thermal conductivity of 1.0 Btu.in./ft.F
( 4 . 8 8 k g . c a l / h r.m.C) or less. All clearances and
thicknesses are minimums; larger clearances and
thicknesses are acceptable. Any material used to
close up an opening for the connector should be
masonry chimney, except for system 2 (under
heading “Chimney Connector Systems, Thimbles
and Clearances”), shall extend to piece through the
wall pass-through system and the chimney wall to
the inner face of the flue liner, but not beyond.
