In installations where the chimney dra9 is too
strong, the problem may be eliminated by allowing
air to pass up the chimney from an auxiliary valve
located at Goor level and connected to a “T”: in the
Gue pipe or chimney.
Proper chimney connection
Particular a7ention should be paid to the point
where a Gue passes through a wall or ceiling.
e
pass-thru should always be made with insulated pipe
and the proper accessories or use of a thimble, which
provides a diameter of not less than three times the
diameter of the stove pipe.
Stove pipe passing through wall
It is important to make provision for adequate
supply of combustion air, either natural in ltration
through or around a door or window, or by ducting
outside. If the air intake valve is not ducted to the
outside, then the galvanized stove pipe elbow
provided with the boiler must be a7ached to the
collar on the air valve facing downward with a 2’
section a7ached to the elbow with three sheet metal
screws. If combustion air is ducted from the outside,
then follow the same procedure as described for
passing a smoke pipe through a combustible wall.
Should the air valve malfunction and not close
completely, there is a possibility that this conduit
could act as an exhaust stack and heat up. Consult
Appendix F for a picture diagram.
When the intake air is ducted from the outside,
inspect the opening regularly to be sure that it does
not become obstructed by debris. Units that have
outside combustion air ducts must have this duct
routed close to the Goor in the boiler room.
BOILER PIPING FOR HYDRONIC SYSTEMS
Due to the design requirements of the various
Wood Gun™ models, the 7ings and burner
a7achments are not always in the same location on
each boiler model. See Appendix A for the location
of these a7achments.
is diagram provides exact
locations for all 7ings. e Gush-out 7ings in the
bo7om of the unit are a requirement of the ASME
boiler code and must be closed before lling the unit
with water.
An elbow and boiler drain should be inserted in
the Gush-out tapping U or Y on the bo7om of the

Note: Be sure to close all fittings in the unit
before filling the unit with water.
