1   - The boiler must be placed on a solid none combustible

floor. If you have a combustible floor it is

required to use a code approved none combustible floor board

(Type 1 Board)

2   - It is recommended that the boiler be centrally located.

3   - The most important consideration in installing your boiler

is adequate clearance between the boiler and any combustible

surface. A boiler that is placed too close to a wall or to furniture

can cause a fire. See chart at right for clearances to

combustibles.

4   - The non-combustible base must extend at least 16” be-

yond the front and 8” of the back, and sides of fuel opening,

and must extend under and 2” beyond either side of the single

wall chimney connectors if it’s elbowed towards a wall. 

5   - The boiler or furnace must have its own flue. Do not con-

nect this unit to a chimney flue serving other appliances.

6   - Connection of the boiler to the chimney should be made as

directly as possible (6 feet maximum horizontal) and not more

than two bends. No reduction in flue pipe below the exhaust di-

ameter should be used.

The pipe connecting the stove to the chimney should be at least

24 gauge. Thicker gauges are available and will resist corrosion

longer and need fewer replacements. Slope the flue pipe back

towards the heater, 1/4” per foot of horizontal run. That way if any condensation forms in the pipe it will be car-

ried back into the heater. The connector pipe should be installed so that the upper pipe section fits inside the

lower section. This way any condensation building up

inside the pipe will stay inside the pipe as it flows

down the inside surface. Horizontal pipe runs should

have the pipe seams turned up. Particular attention

should be paid to the point where the flue passes

through a wall or ceiling. This penetration should al-

ways be made with a thimble, insulated pipe, and

then proper accessories following manufacturers in-

structions. Chimney connectors must not pass

through the ceiling, concealed spaces, or enter the

chimney in the attic, unless proper clearance or

insulated pipe is used following manufacturers

instructions. 
REMEMBER single wall chimney connector adapter.

Where the pipe connects to a masonry chimney. The

flu to the chimney should be larger than the single

wall chimney connector so you can insert the pipe out

to the inside edge of the chimney, but not past. Then

seal as tight as possible and cover with a single wall

chimney connector collar.

Locating Boiler

CAUTION: 

Keep furnishings and other combustible

materials away from the boiler.

ALL BOILERS MUST BE INSTALLED BY A NFI CERTIFIED SPECIALIST AND PLUMBED BY A
