Phoenix Model 8612 Venting Components & Configuration Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: There is a possibility of generating carbon monoxide (CO) with most fuels, including to a minimal extent, wood. A properly maintained and operated woodstove and venting will eliminate the chance of this occurring. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If your home fills with smoke, or if you have the listed symptoms, evacuate everyone to fresh air immediately! As a safety precaution, install a CO monitor in, or near, each room wherever any fuel burning heating unit or appliance operates. 2,000 F (1093 degrees C) in the event of a creosote fire.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney and stovepipe must be properly installed and maintained. Ensure the venting system is consistently in good condition. Replace rusted, cracked, or broken components. A thimble is required when a connection is made through a combustible wall to the chimney. A wall pass-through, or chimney support package, is used when a connection is made through a wall or ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE!
Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel stovepipe. This stove can be connected to a lined masonry chimney or an approved high temperature prefabricated, residential type building heating appliance chimney. DO NOT connect this stove to a chimney serving another appliance, as doing so will affect the safe operation of both appliances. Double wall connector (close clearance pipe) which must be used with a listed factory-built “Type HT" chimney, also may be used with a masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is available from several manufacturers, your dealer can help you choose. Some air insulated connector pipe models available are Simpson Dura Vent DVL, and Metalbestos DS.
Security, GSW and Ameritec also have acceptable close clearance connector pipe. C HIMNEY C ONNECTOR NOTE: The chimney connector cannot pass through an attic, roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a 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. When used in a mobile home, a spark arrestor is required. (See page 17) Chimney connector will not pass through floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space.
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA - B365. Use only 6” (152 mm) diameter, 24-gauge stovepipe for the chimney connector. Do not use aluminum, or galvanized steel pipe , as they cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. Do not use stovepipe as a chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those recommended in this manual. Stovepipe (the chimney connector) is used only to connect the stove to a proper chimney.
It is very important to follow minimum clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and ceilings when installing the stove near non-combustible surfaces. Typical chimney connector clearances are outlined beginning on page 9. The single wall clearances are generic; the Double wall clearances are for Simpson Dura Vent DVL. WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OR DUCT. I NSTALLING A V ENTING S YSTEM Attach the stovepipe sections to the stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run into the stove, and not on the outside of the stovepipe, onto the stove, or on the floor.
Check The Specifications From The Manufacturer Of Your Connector. C OMPONENTS OF A V ENTING S YSTEM The complete venting system consists of two components, the chimney connector and a chimney . Both these components become extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed Secure all joints, including the connection where the stovepipe attaches to the stove’s flue collar, with three sheet metal screws.
