Installation
Masonry Chimney
When connecting to an existing masonry chimney, an approved liner must be used in the chimney.
An unlined chimney could remain cold and cause a downward pressure which creates the
environment for poor burning, incomplete combustion, or backdraft.
Chimney Connector
The connection from the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Boiler to the
chimney must be made using 8
″ black steel material with a
minimum 24 gauge. Do not use galvanized steel.
For proper operation, the chimney connector should be as short
as possible. Horizontal lengths of chimney connector should
have an upward slope of 1/2-inch per foot. Use extra support
hangers or brackets every three feet if it is absolutely necessary
to have a run of more than six feet, which is not recommended.
Chimney connector sections must be attached to the heating
appliance and to each other with the crimped end toward the
heating appliance. Secure all chimney connector pipe joints with
at least three sheet metal screws. Avoid using more than two
elbows in connecting the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Boiler to
the chimney.
Never use chimney connector pipe as a chimney.
A minimum distance of 18 inches must be maintained between
the chimney connector and combustible ceiling surfaces.
A minimum of 18 inches must be maintained between the chimney connector and the backwall and
a minimum of 20 inches must be maintained between the chimney connector and sidewalls.
DO NOT PASS CHIMNEY CONNECTOR THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL OR CEILING.
