How to Install a Chimney Pipe

-          Select a pipe that is approximately ten feet long. 

-          When assembled, the chimney will need to be short when flanked by the chimney and the stove.  Use forty-five degree turns in contrast to ninety degree turns.   If you do have to use ninety degree turns, do so no more than twice. 

-          Use black flue pipes, but avoid types of flue pipes that can vaporize under elevated temperatures.  The flue pipes should be between six to eight inches in total diameter.

-          When assembling the pipe, fasten each joint with a minimum of three screws each, with the assembly being able to expand at the elbows.  One end will need to be attached to a flue collar, and again, with a minimum of only three metal screws.  The other part should be fastened securely to the inside of the chimney, again with a minimum of three screws. 

-          The assembly will be made in a way so that you can clean out the pipes if need be.  You can clean out the pipes by removing the assembly, and remember to do so in a way so that the stove won’t need to be transported.  A flue pipe will not need to go through the ceiling or floor through another room, such as a closet, attic, or open roof space. 

-          One of the goals of installing a chimney fight is to prevent dust and debris from falling outside of the pipe.  There should be no creases or cuts inside of the pipe, and it should be securely fastened at both ends. 

You should assemble the chimney pipe with a single wall flue pipe, and that rises straight from the appliance flue color into the chimney.  

            You could also go with a double flue wall pipe.  Two types of these pipes exist: vented and sealed.  A double wall pipe that is sealed will retain in the warm air in the gases, since the space that’s in between the outer shell and inner liner will be the insulator.  This makes the pipe that is sealed a better choice to minimize the creosote deposits that built up inside of the pipe.  If the chimney assembly will be long, and if gas temperatures are expected to be lower, the sealed flue glass pipe system is by and large the better choice. 

            In contrast to this, the vented double wipe will (as it is vented) allow cool air to move in between both the outer shell and the inner liner.  This is a better system for an assembly pipe that is shorter than usual and doesn’t have to make any forty-five or ninety degree turns and angles.  It is not the most practical option for pipes that need to be longer or that generate low temperatures.
