1. Product information

1.1 Function

Use  

exodraft

 model RSHT chimney fan is a chimney top mounted ventilator that is designed to provide 

large flue gas volume capacities. It is intended for use with solid fuel but can also be used for non-

solid fuel provided a safety system is part of the installation (refer to the manual: “RS for Gas & Oil 

Applications”). The use of the RSHT chimney fan is not restricted to any type of chimney, because the 

fan creates a negative pressure (below atmospheric) in the chimney.  

Typical uses are: Controlling the draft for a residential solid fuel fired boiler, fireplace, stove, BBQ, or 

pizza oven.

Function  

The RSHT chimney fan is designed to be able to withstand the high temperatures associated with 

wood burning and to minimize the creosote buildup in the chimney flue and on the chimney fan. 

The axial vane construction provides a self-cleaning effect. This product is developed to prevent draft 

problems by creating a mechanical draft in venting systems and thereby also increasing the capacity 

and efficiency of a venting system. Though the chimney fan is not limited to such use, it is perfect for 

use with fireplaces, barbecues, pizza ovens and wood stoves.

Code compliance  

Installations must conform to requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Where required by 

the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must also conform to the Standard for Draft Equip-

ment and NFPA 211. 

All electrical wiring must be in accordance with the requirements of authority having jurisdiction or, 

in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA70. 

1.2 Shipping
