ACHIEVING PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may
cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An
uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove part or chimney
connector indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may
cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the
chimney. Symptoms of inadequate draft include leaking of
smoke into the room through the appliance and/or chimney
connector joints. A minimum draft of .06wc is required for
proper operation.
Your Sierra Stove must not be connected to a chimney
serving another appliance. Multiple appliances on a single
flue may cause flue gases to be drawn into the house
through an unused opening, or in the form of poor draft
and rapid creosote accumulation.
The Sierra Stove will not smoke if installed according to
manufacturer's specifications and with a listed chimney.
A scheduled plan for cleaning the chimney must be
observed. A build-up of resins from wet or green wood can
cause a flue fire (see Maintenance Section).
Special methods are required when passing chimney
through a wall or ceiling. See Pipe Instructions Manual
and/or local building codes.
Do Not Over-fire this Heater:
Attempts to achieve heat
output rates that exceed heater design specifications can
result in permanent damage to the heater.
A glowing
stove or connector pipe is hazardous!
HEARTH PROTECTION
Floor protection and/or hearth extension is required for the
Sierra Stove. All floor protection materials must be non-
combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards,
etc.). Floor protector must be a 1/2" minimum thickness,
non-combustible material having an equal or better
insulating value (lower "k" value) at "k"=<.84>. It must
extend from beneath the heater to the front, sides, and rear
as indicated. Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood.
paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be
used. The floor protector specified may include some form
of thermal designation such as an R-value (thermal
resistance), k-factor (thermal conductivity), or C-factor
(thermal conductance). The easiest means of determining
a proposed alternate floor protector that meets the
requirements listed in this manual is to follow this
procedure:
1)
Convert specification to R-value:
i) R-value given - no conversion needed.
ii) k-factor is given with a required thickness (T)
in inches: R 1/k x t
iii) C-factor is given: R - 1/C
2)
Determine t R-value of the proposed alternate
floor protector.
i) Use the formula in step (1) to convert values
not expressed as "R".
ii) For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer
to determine overall R-value.
3)
If the overall R-value of the system is greater
than the R-value of the specified floor
protector, the alternate is acceptable.
Floor Protection must be provided in the following areas:
!
Under the unit
!
16” in front of the unit
!
8” from the sides of the door opening
!
Where horizontal venting us used, under the
connector and 2” beyond each side.
