New Heritage II 8022 - flue collar connection + unidentified parts

[Backroads Bob]

Just purchased a like new Heritage 2. It was an older dealer floor/demo model but they are no longer a Hearthstone dealer and couldn’t tell me a whole lot about and so they gave us a deal we couldn’t refuse. A couple of questions please:
The enamelled flue collar is pre-drilled and leading me to think that a stove pipe must insert into the inside of the collar? See pic 1. If so, is there a dedicated adapter or pipe for this? If not, is it then just connected using standard 6” double wall pipe as shown in pic 2 with the screws drilled through into the collar holes?
Second question. The stove came with the parts shown in pic 3. Help ID-ing these a parts please.

Yes, the flue collar can get new holes drilled that line up with the double wall stove pipe holes. One can carefully measure the location of the existing flue collar holes and translate those locations to the stove pipe's outer wall, but it's more challenging.

Paging @Highbeam for a Heritage 2 question. That extra piece looks like it might be a flue collar heat shield.

I had the last iteration of non cat heritage. Not sure how that compares with a "heritage 2" but there was no heat shield or those 4 clips matching your photo . This is a time to read the manual to see if that heat shield gets you a clearance reduction or if you can skip it. I believe the cat version, they scabbed in a catalyst, likely created some hot spots that needed more shielding to maintain small clearances to combustibles.

The collar of the heritage is cast and has those holes. I would not drill new holes in the collar to avoid creating chips and cracks in the enamel plus it already has holes to use. Your photo looks like you are trying to slip a piece of single wall pipe over the appliance collar. That's a bad idea, it must be dripless, the stove pipe must go inside the appliance collar. On my install I used duravent double wall pipe and the inner wall slid nicely inside the appliance collar. Great fit but since the outer wall covers up those screw holes I just don't attach it to the stove. Same thing with my Blaze king. And both passed inspection that way.

If you were forced to attach the stove pipe to the stove with screws through double wall pipe I would measure carefully and try to aim a long self tapper to hit those holes in the appliance collar and not tighten the screws much at all so as to avoid crushing the outer wall.

Agreed, if the flue collar is enameled, it's better to not drill into it. This would mean that the stove pipe needs to be drilled with a hole that aligns with the flue collar hole.

What stove pipe make and brand is being used to connect the stove as shown in picture #2?

Nothing in the manual to identify or indicate the need for a heat shield but the stove placement is well outside the range of combustibles and so it’s likely not necessary. As for the four clips, I think set them aside for now. The stove seems to be complete without them. I agree that drilling into the enamelled collar is not a good idea. My plan, as suggested in these replies, is to carefully measure and drill through the stove pipe from the outside. And the pipe pictured in pic2 is indeed double wall and does fit correctly onto and into the flue collar. Thanks for your help in getting me prepped for the coming Canadian winter.

Also agree. I won’t be trying to drill into the collar. I’m not certain of the make and brand of the pipe but it is double walled and was installed initially by certified installer so no worries there. Thanks.

Those 4 pieces in Photo 3 are what the manufacture uses to secure the stove on the pallet when shipping it. The square slots in the middle go on the carriage bolts on the legs and then screws go through the two holes on each bracket. They can be discarded. On my Hearthstone green mountain I just have a double wall pipe seated snuggly on the collar and no screws run through.

Thanks. I figured that. And I’m sure seating the pipe onto the collar would be adequate but I did manage to accurately drill through the pipe and secure with screws.
