Residential Installation
Warning:
Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed
in a makeshift or "temporary" manner. It may be fired only after
the following conditions have been met.
*
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THIS HEATER TO
ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT.
*
The services of competent installer are strongly recom-
mended.
*
Outside combustion air or fresh air into the room may be
required in your area, consult local building codes (see
Combustion Air section).
- The services of a competent or certified installer, (certified by
the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in
Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,)
are strongly recommended.
Clearances
1. This heater may be installed using a single-wall connector
(smoke pipe) or listed double-wall connector (see Mobile
Home installation).
2. Clearances to combustible surfaces and materials using
single-wall connector are shown in Figure #1, page 5.
Clearances may be reduced with various heat insulating
materials. Consult local fire codes and authorities for
approval.
3. Alternately, for close clearances, use a listed double-wall
connector. See Figure #1, page 5.
Chimney and Connector
Connect to a listed chimney or a chimney suitable for use with
solid fuel that is lined and in good condition and meets local
building codes. The chimney flue size should be the same as the
stove outlet for optimal performance. Reducing or increasing
the flue size may adversely affect stove performance. Chimney
flue exit is to be 3 feet (1 m.) above roof and two feet (0.6 m.)
above highest projection within 10 feet (3 m.). The installation
must meet all local codes. Do not connect this unit to a chimney
flue serving another appliance. Minimum system height is 15
feet (4.6 m.) (measured from base of appliance).
Double-Wall Connector
-
Use a listed double-wall connector.
-
Install all components to the chimney connector manufac-
turer's installation requirements.
Single-Wall Connector
Smoke pipe must be:
*
as short and straight as possible, use six inch diameter, 24
gauge black pipe that is clean and in new condition.
*
secured at every joint and collar with 3 sheet metal screws.
*
installed with the crimped or male ends pointing down.
This will carry any liquid creosote or condensation back
into the stove.
*
The chimney connector shall not pass through an attic, roof
space, closet or similar concealed space, floor, or ceiling.
Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible
material is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/
CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Ap-
pliances and Equipment.
Procedure
1. If a listed chimney and double-wall connector is to be
connected to the stove, install all components to the chim-
ney manufacturer's installation requirements. (Outside
combustion air may be required, consult local building
codes. See Combustion Air section.)
2. If it is desirable to use smoke pipe in conjunction with the
insulated chimney, see step 4.
3. If a roof or ceiling support is used in the installation, you
will find the chimney manufacturer's complete instructions
packed with the roof support.
4. To start installing smoke pipe (chimney connector), slip
crimped edge of the pipe inside the stove collar. Use holes
provided in collar to secure pipe with two screws.
5. Install the remaining lengths of pipe one on top of the other
to the finished height of the chimney connector and secure
to each other.
