Security Chimneys International EPA BIS ULTRA, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

20

Exception #2:

  For the single outlet,  the framing must  be 8 _" x  32 _"  (210 mm x 820

mm) or as required by  the integrated spacers.  At  no time should any  combustible facing
material such as panelling cover over any part of the grill face.

3.

The maximum number of elbows in a run of duct is two.

4.

Maintain  at  least  6  _"  (160  mm)  clearance  from  the  outlet  grill  framing  to  a  combustible
ceiling, side wall or mantel.

5.

When traversing a combustible wall or floor, a fire stop  must  be installed at the wall or floor
penetration.  The hole size must be 13" X 13". (330 mm x 330 mm)

6.

Do not  connect the hot  air  ducts  to  a  central  heating  system.    Malfunction  of  the  heating
system’s fan will cause the fireplace to  overheat.  A furnace duct is only  single wall and not
double wall as is required for the BIS ULTRA hot air exhaust

7.

Use only Security Chimneys International grills and components  as described in this  manual.
Other grills or registers, for example, may be too restrictive and may overheat the fireplace or
ceiling.

8.

Do not use insulated flexible ducts, as they may overheat.

9.

Do not use tees or any other components than the ones specifically listed here.

10.

All ducts must extend upwards or horizontally.  Never try to route the ducting downward.

11.

The hot  air outlet  grills must  be installed with  the  louvers  pointing  downwards  in  order  to

prevent overheating adjacent ceilings.

3.5.2  Central Forced Air Kit

(Not tested under EPA certification)

The  knock-outs  provided  on  the  back  and  on  the  sides  of  the  BIS  ULTRA  allow  the
connection of insulated flexible pipe  which enables you  to  heat adjacent rooms up  to  50
feet from the fireplace.
The ducting system must be installed as described below:
1.

Fix  the  adaptor  at  the  back  and/or  the  side  of  the  fireplace  by  twist-locking  the
adaptor to the fireplace.  You can use more than one outlet on the fireplace (figure 19).

2.

Attach the 5" flexible pipe, using the collars provided.  Important: Make  sure that  the
plastic wrapping around the flexible pipe will not be in contact with the fireplace.

3.

Route the flexible pipe  to  the chosen location.  The ducting  system  can  be  installed
either in an upper room or in a lower room.

4.

Attach the flexible pipe to the fan, using the collars (figure 20).

5.

Fix the decorative grill fan adaptor to the fan.

6.

Attach a standard 3" x 10" grill to the adaptor.

7.

Install the 

blower thermostat

 in that part of the house to be heated by the hot air duct.

Do not  install the 

blower thermostat

 in the  room  where  the  fireplace  is  located.    A

cooling thermostat 

can be installed in the same room as the unit.  This  thermostat  will

turn on the blower when the room where the fireplace is located becomes too hot.

This  option  requires electricity.    Make  sure  that  the  connections  to  the  fan  have  been
made according to the local codes and comply with their requirements.
