INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read completely before starting.
NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS: Your Bryan Furnace is absolutely the safest, cleanest
solid fuel burning system available. Your furnace has been assembled from the finest
materials available by skilled craftsmen under the supervision of a strict quality control
program. Bryan Furnace Works, however, has no control over the handling of your fur-
nace during shipment or installation. The possibility does exist, however remote, that a
broken seal will allow some smoke or fumes into the home.
If the possibility of smoke
or fumes in the home is absolutely unacceptable, do not install this furnace. Keep
in mind that smoke in the home is a certainty with a fireplace or indoor heater.
WARNING
The installation of this unit must comply with state
and local requirements and be inspected by the
state or local building inspector, if required. Only
laboratory listed units can be installed indoors.
General Notes
The air from a solid fuel appliance is considerably hotter than from gas, oil or elec-
tric furnaces. Do not connect this furnace to anything other than metal ductwork.
Both hot and cold air ducts should be insulated outdoors. In addition, the hot air
duct should be insulated for its entire length. There should be a minimum of 1 “ of
insulation between the hot air duct and any flammable surface.
Your furnace has been tested to determine the minimum safe clearances to com-
bustible materials. The clearances listed below should be adhered to strictly.
Sides of furnace 8”
Rear of furnace 16”
Top of furnace 24”
Front of furnace 48”
Flue pipe (single wall connector to
to chimney) if used
18”
Ducting 6” for first 16” from rear of unit, then 2”
Do not connect the Bryan Furnace to a chimney serving another appliance.
If the furnace is placed on a flammable surface, the floor must be protected by a
fireproof millboard or equivalent. The fireproofing must extend under the furnace and at
least 16” in front of and 8” either side of the fuel loading door.
Pull return air from the same area where supply air is being delivered. Do not pull
return air from a small or closed area where another heating appliance is located.
The resulting partial vacuum could cause the other appliance to malfunction.
Do not install the hot air inlet directly below a flammable or heat sensitive mater-
ial (drapes, blinds, plastic, etc.) or those objects can be damaged by rising heat.
