installation instructions.

4. Multiple  venting  should  be
avoided  wherever  possible.  Never
install your stove into the same vent
as a gas furnace.

5. Check  for  proper  roof  clear-
ances. See page 5 and check your
local codes.

6. Chimney must be two feet high-
er than anything ten feet around it.

D. Flue Pipe

1. Chimney should be within 8 feet
of the stove.

2. No  more  than  two  90  degree
elbows should be used.

E. Check for Proper Draft

The chimney used must be capable
of providing a minimum of .06 inch-
es water column draft.

F. A Barometric Draft Regulator

May be used and set at .06 to .10
inches water column.

Safety and  Service Clearances -
Regardless if you use your stove as a
separate independent stove installa-
tion or in the parallel configuration
with another furnace, the following
steps will apply in your decision as
to  where  and  how  you  will  install
your new solid fuel stove.

Clearance to Combustibles
Models SF-150, SF-250

Safe stove clearance to combustible
walls is 24" to rear and 36" to sides
and  front.  Floor  protection  for  a
combustible  floor  should  consist  of
3/8"  asbestos  millboard  or  a  stove
mat providing equal protection. The
floor protector should extend 8" to
either  side  and  16"  in  front  of  the
stove.  Floor  protection  should  also
extend 2" to either side of chimney
connector.

Leveling Adjustable Feet

A. Lean the stove back and screw
on the two front feet.

B. Lean the stove front and screw
on the two rear feet.

C. Make final adjustments to bring
the  stove  into  a  level  position  by
adjusting feet as required.

Most  Harman  stoves  are  equipped
with  adjustable  feet  which  are
adjusted  simply  by  turning  them.
They are 4" in diameter to support
the stove without marring the floor.
The  shape  of  the  foot  adds  to  the
appearance and quality of the stove.

I M P O RTANT!  THE  FLUE  PIPE
MUST BE 24 GAUGE OR THICK-
ER.

When  connecting  the  flue  pipe  to
the stove the first section of the pipe

or  the  elbow  should  be  installed
inside  the  flue  connector  on  the
stove. It should be held in place by
drilling  three  holes  through  the
pipe.  The  holes  should  be  of  suit-
able  diameter  for  the  sheet  metal
screws or pop rivets used for fasten-
ing.

A  straight  section  of  pipe  or  an
elbow must now be installed.

A  barometric  damper  may  be
installed  on  this  vertical  section  of
the  pipe.  Use  a  listed  barometric
damper.

IMPORTANT!  ALL  HORIZONTAL
RUNS  SHOULD  HAVE  A  1/4"
RISE  TO  THE  FOOT  SO  THAT
ANY  LIQUID  CREOSOTE  THAT
MAY DEVELOP WILL RUN BACK
INTO THE STOVE.

Connector thru Walls and Chimney
-  NFPA  211  does  not  permit  a
chimney connector to pass through
any floor or ceiling or through any
fire wall or fire partition. However,
where necessary, a connector may
pass through a partition other than

a fire partition under any of the fol-
lowing conditions:

A. Where  a  ventilated  type  metal
thimble,  as  shown  above  is  used.
Such a thimble must be at least 12
inches  larger  in  diameter  than  the
chimney connector.

B. Where  a  metal  or  burned  fire-
clay thimble is used and the thimble
is surrounded on all sides by not less

Smokepipe (Connector) Thru
Walls
