In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe
damper with the Invicta series. Some installations,
however, could benefit from a stovepipe damper, such
as a tall chimney which can create a higher than
normal draft. In such cases, a damper can help
regulate the draft. The Invicta series requires a draft
between 0.06" and 0.1" WC. For drafts above 0.1"
WC, install a stovepipe damper. Check the draft at
stove installation time.
Remember, the NFPA recommends minimum
clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles
such as walls and ceilings. Once the stove is installed
at safe distances from these combustible surfaces, it
is also important to maintain these connector
clearances for the remainder of the installation.
CONNECTING THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY
You can install your Invicta to a prefabricated metal
chimney, or to a masonry chimney.
This room heater must be connected to (1) a listed
Type HT (2100° F) chimney per UL 103 or ULC S629,
or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner. The chimney size should not be less than the
flue collar, or more than three times greater than the
cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
We recommend installing a cleanout tee where
possible to simplify chimney cleaning and
maintenance.
Connecting to a Prefabricated Metal Chimney
There are two ways to install a prefabricated metal
chimney:
An interior installation where the chimney passes
inside the residence through the ceiling and roof.
An exterior installation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the stove then up the
outside of the residence.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An
interior chimney heats up quickly and retains its heat;
thus promotes a better draft and discourages the
formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does not
benefit from the warmth of the building, so it typically
operates at lower flue temperatures than an interior
chimney and may experience increased creosote
accumulation.
When connecting the Invicta to a prefabricated metal
chimney, you must follow, precisely, the
manufacturer's installation instructions. Use only Type
HT (2100° F), prefabricated metal chimneys listed per
UL 103 or ULC S629 standards.
Ensure the size of the prefabricated chimney’s flue is
appropriate for the Invicta stove. This Invicta series
requires a 7" (178 mm) inside diameter flue for new
installations. A 7 diameter flue provides adequate
draft and performance. You can use an 8" (203 mm)
diameter existing flue with a reducer. An oversized
flue contributes to creosote accumulation. (In this
case, bigger is NOT better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install
with your stove, ensure you also purchase from the
same manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling
support package), "T" section package, fire-stops
(when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,
chimney cap, and any other required accessories.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing
the chimney and accessories. In addition, ensure you
maintain all manufacturersrecommendations for the
proper clearances to the chimney.
Connection to a Masonry Chimney
Consider two primary elements when connecting your
stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself and
the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the
chimney. Use only code approved masonry
chimneys containing a proper flue liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks, loose
mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage.
If the chimney needs repair, complete them before
installing and using your stove. Do not install your
stove until the chimney is safe for use.
Ensure the chimney’s cleanout is complete and
working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, the cleanout
door must close completely and provide a tight seal. If
the cleanout door leaks, the chimney will cool, your
stove will perform poorly, and creosote can form.
Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for
this stove and that it is not too large. Use a masonry
chimney with a maximum 7Diameter or 8" x 8" (203
mm x 203 mm) tile size for best results. An oversized
flue contributes to the accumulation of creosote.
Use the following checklist to ensure that your
masonry chimney meets these minimum
requirements:
MASONRY CHIMNEY WALL CONSTRUCTION :
Mortared brick or modular block at least 4" (102
mm) thick must use liner
